As one of the first Jain communities in North America to have its own temple, the Jain Center of Greater Boston has played a critical role in advancing Jain philosophy in the United States. To celebrate moving to a new space, the community’s 300 families organized an inaugural parade to educate fellow citizens about the principles of their religion.
