The goal of Jainism is to attain moksha (enlightenment). This is done by observing the five 'Great Vows': non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, celibacy, and non-materialism.
Jainism seems to be most strongly concerned about breaking the power of bondage to the physical world. And as such they have code of conducts. This code of conduct is expressed in the twelve vows.
There are mainly five teachings of Jainism (called 5 vows of Jainism) which include-Ahimsa (or, non-violence)Aprigraha (or, non-possessiveness)Bramhcharya (or, chastity)Asteya (or, non-stealing)Satya (or, truthfulness)

The founder of Jainism is Mahavira. He is considered to be the last Tirthenkara or teacher of Jainism.
Among the-twelve vratas or vows prescribed for continuous observance in daily life by Jaina religion, the first five vratas or vows are regarded as the main vratas or vows and even among these main vratas or vows the first and the prominent position has been assigned to the vrata or vow of Ahimsa. Since this Ahimsa-vrata is based on the fundamental principle of avoidance of or abstention from Himsa, i.e., injury to sentient beings, it is quite necessary to understand the concept of Himsa as delineated by Jainism.
Shastras and Agams mention many kings who accepted Jainism. Some were actually Jains and some were great patrons of Jainism. The two most famous kings who accepted Jainism include King Shrenik (King Bimbisara) and King Chandragupta Maurya.
