Aparigraha, non attachment An eight petalled lotus at the centre of a ring of everyday things — a book, a chair, a plant, a bicycle wheel, a jacket and a lamp — circling from one home to the next.
Aparigraha. Nothing hoarded, everything in circulation.

Brought to you by JCS

A Jain Community Services of Canada initiative

Since 1985, Jain Community Services of Canada (JCS) has brought the Jain community in Canada together, guided by the Jain values of non-violence, mindfulness and compassion.

JCS Marketplace brings those values into everyday life: pass on what you no longer need, to people you can trust.

Aparigraha, in daily practice

Three habits the whole board runs on

Buy less

The greenest thing on earth is the one already made.

Use it fully

Repair it, wear it out, take the whole life from it.

Pass it on

When you are done, find it a next home, not a bin.

Old idea, everyday shape

Sustainability is aparigraha in daily practice. Why we do this ›

How it works

Three steps, and no middleman

  1. 1

    Post it

    One honest photo, a fair price, a pickup area. Two minutes and it is on the board.

  2. 2

    Meet a member

    Contact details are shown to signed in members only, never to the open web.

  3. 3

    Pass it on

    Hand it over in person. No fees, no commission, no shipping labels.
