Round 3: Tossup 7
Every perspective on reality is partially true according to this religion’s doctrine of many-sidedness. The first major figure of this religion lived for a span of nearly 600 quintillion years. Fourteen internal possessions must not be held according to one of this religion’s five vows. One of this religion’s two major sects is the Svetambara (“shway-TUHM-buh-ruh”) or “white-clad” sect. The 24 “ford-makers” of this religion, the latest one being Mahavira (“mah-hah-VEE-ruh”), are called tirthankaras (“teer-THUN-kuh-ruhs”). Ascetics of one sect of this religion sweep away insects with a broom. For 10 points, name this Indian religion that emphasizes ahimsa (“ah-HIM-suh”), or non-violence. ■END■
ANSWER: Jainism [accept word forms such as Jains; accept sky-clad Jains; accept white-clad Jains; prompt on Svetambara until read or Digambara by asking “what religion is that sect a part of?”] (The first line refers to the doctrine of Anekantavada.)
