Jains don't eat food beneath the Earth's surface as they don't want to kill animals, then why do they eat plants?
I have a question. Jains don't eat food beneath the Earth's surface as they don't want to kill animals, then why do they eat plants?
Jains believe that all living beings have a soul and that non-violence must be practiced towards all living things. While they avoid eating food that requires the uprooting of plants, they do consume plant-based foods that can be harvested without killing the plant.
