The nonviolence enjoined by Jainism extends to abstaining from anger and bearing all that comes with a “placid mind” (Sutrakritanga i, 9.30-33).

In the Buddhist tradition there is an expression of nonviolence in the Dhammapada, a presentation of Gautama Buddha’s teachings that dates from perhaps the third century BCE:The wise who hurt no living thing, and who keep their body under self-control, they go to the immortal Nirvana, where once gone they sorrow no more. (Dhammapada, 225)

andThough one should conquer in battle thousands upon thousands of men, yet he who conquers himself is (truly) the greatest in battle. (Dhammapada 103)16
