Ahimsa
Ahimsa is a Buddhist and Hindu doctrine expressing belief in the sacredness of all living creatures and urging the avoidance of harm and violence. Ahimsa or non-violence has been the central doctrine of Indian culture from the earliest days of its history.
Practice of Ahimsa develops love. Ahimsa is another name for truth or love. Humanity attains peace by injuring no living creature.
