Me convertí al jainismo este año. Soy cubano

Jainism emphasizes a path of spiritual purification and self-realization centered on strict adherence to ethical vows known as the Five Great Vows (Mahavratas) for monks and simplified versions (Anuvratas) for lay followers. As a new adherent, you would focus on cultivating ahimsa (non-violence) in thought, word, and deed, which is the fundamental Jain principle, alongside truthfulness, avoiding theft, maintaining chastity appropriate to your life stage, and practicing detachment from material possessions.

In addition to these ethical commitments, Jainism encourages practices such as regular meditation, study of Jain scriptures, participation in communal worship or temple visits, and observing fasts on special days to purify karma. Over time, you might also engage in pratikraman (ritual repentance) and other spiritual disciplines to progress on the path toward liberation. These practices are universal in Jainism and are applicable regardless of cultural background, making them accessible to converts worldwide, including those from Cuba.
