6. Young Jains is open to all - not just those that are Jain by birth. There are many people who are walking the path of the Jinas (to conquer the ‘I’) or uphold the tenants of Jainism hence Jainism is not confined to cultural background. Our primary target market is for those aged from 18 to 35 years. Who is Young Jains for? At present we have two very different groups whom we cater for: 1. People who have been members for a long time and enjoy Young Jains activities Knowledge level: Intermediate 2. Those that yet to be enthralled by teaching of the great gnani’s and are at the questioning stage. This is a very vital stage and all must be encouraged to ask these questions, since this is what will lead to better, stronger understanding. Knowledge Level: Beginner Encourage those that haven’t thought about Jainsm. This is probably the hardest market, since we are seeking to ‘open peoples’ eyes’ to spirituality and the value that Jain teachings can bring.
