Living Jain on Family

Family is the most important organisation in the world. The strength within ourselves supports the family, which supports the local community, which supports the world.

A strong and self-reliant family can also give us as individuals the encouragement to realise our true selves and work towards liberation.

Family time is rewarding, but the life of a householder can also be incredibly challenging. Fortunately there are tools from the timeless Jain tradition that help us stay centred so that our family can support each other to facilitate self-realisation, and ultimately, liberation.
