Re: Jain videos
For balance, I have included some videos critical of Jainism. In one of the videos the teacher critiques Jainism, saying it is illogical since Jainism believes non-living things have a soul. I could not find any Jain teaching that says non-living things have a soul. So maybe the teacher was making this up or it was a belief that was dropped, not sure?
In fact, I found the opposite at multiple Jain sites, that non-living things are the opposite of life with a soul.

Anything that does not have the life or a consciousness is Ajiva. Ajiva literally means without a soul and therefore, they cannot accumulate any karmas. They have no birth, death, pleasure, or pain; they are achetan (inert). Examples of Ajivas are: a box, car, fan, television, photo frame, iron, watch, etc.
