No ke aha e ʻai ʻole ai ʻo Jains i ka ʻuala, nā aniani, ke kāleka a me nā mea kanu aʻa ʻē aʻe? No ke aha ʻaʻole ʻai ʻo Jains ma hope o ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā? No ke aha lākou e inu ai i ka wai kānana wale nō?
ʻO kēia kekahi mau nīnau e kū mai ana i ka wā e kamaʻilio ai e pili ana iā Jainism, a ma kēia ʻatikala e hoʻāʻo mākou e hoʻomālamalama i nā ʻano o ke ola Jain.
ʻO Jain vegetarianism ka meaʻai koʻikoʻi i hoʻoikaika ʻia i ka hoʻomana ma ka ʻāina ʻo India.
ʻO ka hōʻole ʻana o ka poʻe Jains e ʻai i ka ʻiʻo a me ka iʻa ma muli o ke kumu o ka non-violence (ahinsa, literally "non-traumatic"). ʻO nā hana a ke kanaka i kākoʻo pololei a i ʻole ke kākoʻo ʻole i ka pepehi ʻana a i ʻole ka hōʻeha ʻana i manaʻo ʻia he hinsa a alakaʻi i ke kūkulu ʻana i ka karma maikaʻi ʻole. ʻO ke kumu o Ahima ke pale aku i ka pōʻino o ka karma o kekahi.
ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mālama ʻia ʻana o kēia manaʻo ʻokoʻa i waena o nā Hindu, Buddhist a me Jains. Ma waena o ka poʻe Jains, ua manaʻo ʻia ke kumu o ka hoʻomāinoino ʻole i ka hana hoʻomana koʻikoʻi loa no nā mea āpau - ahinsā paramo dharmaḥ - e like me ka mea i kākau ʻia ma nā luakini ʻo Jani. He mea pono kēia kumu no ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana mai ka pōʻai o ka hānau hou ʻana, ʻo ia ka pahuhopu hope loa o ka neʻe ʻana o Jain. Loaʻa i nā Hindu a me nā Buddhist nā manaʻo like ʻole, akā ʻo ke ala ʻo Jain he koʻikoʻi loa a komo pū.
ʻO ka mea e hoʻokaʻawale ai i ka Jainism ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻana i ka hana ʻino i nā hana o kēlā me kēia lā, a ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka meaʻai. ʻO kēia ʻano koʻikoʻi o ka vegetarianism ka hopena ʻaoʻao o ka asceticism, kahi i koi ʻia e nā Jains i ka laity e like me nā mōneka.
ʻO ka Vegetarianism no Jains he sine qua non. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia ka meaʻai i loaʻa i nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi o nā kino o nā holoholona make a hua paha. Ke hilinaʻi nei kekahi mau mea hana Jain i ka veganism, no ka mea, pili pū ka hana ʻana i ka waiu i ka hana ʻino i nā bipi.
Mālama ʻo Jains i ʻole e hoʻopōʻino i nā pepeke liʻiliʻi, me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka pōʻino i hana ʻia ma muli o ka mālama ʻole ʻana he mea hōʻino a me ka hana ʻino i manaʻo ʻia. Hoʻohana lākou i nā kāʻei gauze i ʻole e ale i ka midges, hoʻoikaika nui lākou e hōʻoia i ʻole e hōʻeha ʻia nā holoholona liʻiliʻi i ka ʻai ʻana a me ka inu ʻana.
ʻO ka mea maʻamau, ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia ʻo Jains e inu i ka wai kānana ʻole. I ka wā ma mua, ʻo nā pūnāwai ke kumu o ka wai, hoʻohana ʻia ka lole no ka kānana ʻana, a pono e hoʻihoʻi ʻia nā microorganisms i loko o ka waihona. I kēia lā, ʻaʻole hoʻohana ʻia kēia hana i kapa ʻia ʻo "jivani" a i ʻole "bilchhavani" ma muli o ka hiki ʻana mai o nā ʻōnaehana wai.
ʻOiai i kēia lā, hoʻomau kekahi mau Jains i ka kānana i ka wai mai nā hue wai mineral i kūʻai ʻia.
Hoʻāʻo ʻo Jains i kā lākou mea maikaʻi ʻole e hōʻeha i nā mea kanu, a aia nā alakaʻi kūikawā no kēia. ʻAʻole pono e ʻai ʻia nā lau ʻaʻa e like me ka ʻuala a me nā aniani no ka mea e hōʻino kēia i ka mea kanu a no ka mea ua manaʻo ʻia ke aʻa he mea ola hiki ke ulu. Hiki ke ʻai ʻia nā huaʻai i ʻohi ʻia mai ka mea kanu.
ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia ka ʻai ʻana i ka meli, no ka mea, ʻo ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana e pili ana i ka hana ʻino i ka nalo.
ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻai i ka meaʻai i hoʻomaka e pōʻino.
ʻO ka mea maʻamau, pāpā ʻia ke kuke ʻana i ka pō, no ka mea, ua huki ʻia nā iniseti i ke ahi a make paha. ʻO ia ke kumu e hoʻohiki ai ka poʻe paʻa o Jainism e ʻai ʻole ma hope o ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā.
ʻAʻole ʻai ʻo Jains i ka meaʻai i kuke ʻia i nehinei, no ka mea, ulu nā microorganisms (bacteria, yeast) i loko o ia pō. Hiki iā lākou ke ʻai i ka meaʻai hou i hoʻomākaukau ʻia.
ʻAʻole ʻai ʻo Jains i nā meaʻai fermented (beer, waina, a me nā ʻuhane ʻē aʻe) i mea e pale ai i ka pepehi ʻana i nā microorganism i komo i ka hana fermentation.
I ka wā o ka hoʻokē ʻai ʻana i ka kalena hoʻomana "Panchang" ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻai i nā lau ʻōmaʻomaʻo (loaʻa ka chlorophyll), e like me ka okra, nā lau lau a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
Ma nā wahi he nui o India, ua hoʻoikaika nui ʻia ka vegetarianism e Jainism:
- Mea ʻai Gujarati
- ʻO ka meaʻai Marwari o Rajasthan
- Mea ʻai o ʻĪnia Waena
- Agrawal Kitchen Delhi
Ma Inia, he nui ka meaʻai meaʻai meaʻai a kaulana loa nā hale ʻaina meaʻai. No ka laʻana, ʻo Ghantewala kaulana i Delhi a me Jamna Mithya ma Sagar e holo ʻia e nā Jains. Hāʻawi kekahi mau hale ʻaina India i kahi ʻano Jain kūikawā o ka meaʻai me ka ʻole kāloti, ʻuala, aniani a me ke kāleka. Hāʻawi kekahi mau mokulele i nā meaʻai meaʻai Jain ma ke noi mua. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo "satvika" e pili pinepine ana i ka meaʻai India me ka ʻole o nā aniani a me ke kālika, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻai Jain koʻikoʻi ʻaʻole i hoʻokaʻawale i nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe e like me ka ʻuala.
ʻO kekahi mau kīʻaha, e like me Rajasthani gatte ki sabzi, ua hana kūikawā ʻia no nā ʻahaʻaina i ka wā e pale ʻia ai nā lau ʻōmaʻomaʻo e nā Jains orthodox.
