In [[Jainism]], monasticism is encouraged and respected. Rules for monasticism are rather strict. A Jain ascetic has neither a permanent home nor any possessions, wandering barefoot from place to place except during the months of [[Chaturmas]]. The quality of life they lead is difficult because of the many constraints placed on them. They don't use a vehicle for commuting and always commute barefoot from one place to another, irrespective of the distance. They don't possess any materialistic things and also don't use the basic services like that of a phone, electricity etc. They don't prepare food and live only on what people offer them.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jainstudy.org/jsc1.99-JainismAtAGlance.htm |title=Jainism At A Glance |first=Mrs. Sushila |last=Singhvi |access-date=9 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726201209/http://www.jainstudy.org/jsc1.99-JainismAtAGlance.htm |archive-date=26 July 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
