Jain dharm: Jainism explains that violence is

Jainism explains that violence is not defined by actual harm, for this may be unintentional. It is the intention to harm, the absence of compassion, unawareness, and the ignorance that makes an action violent. According to Jaina traditions, twenty-four Tirthankaras were responsible for the origin and development of Jaina religion and philosophy. जैन धर्म में ‘तीर्थंकर’ का अर्थ है वह व्यक्ति जो संसार रूपी सागर को पार करने के लिए धर्म का मार्ग (सेतु) बनाता है. तीर्थंकरों वे है जिसने राग-द्वेष को जीतकर अहिंसा, संयम और तप द्वारा पूर्ण ज्ञान प्राप्त किया हो और जीवनभर इस ज्ञान का लोगों में प्रचार-प्रसार किया हो. Jains consider Jainism to be an eternal dharma, with the tirthankaras guiding every time cycle of the cosmology. In Jain cosmology, there is a succession of twenty-four tirthankaras, supreme preachers of dharma, across the avasarpiṇī, the descending half of the time cycle in which the good and religion are decreasing.
