As followers of [[Shu-Keseg]], the JinDo people follow the principle of unity through acceptance, preferring peace and openness above all.

The work of prestigious JinDo philosophers, mathematicians{{book ref|Elantris|8}}, and artists{{tes ref|76}} are well-known in other lands. [[Shu-Dereth]], the official religion of the Fjordell Empire, has its origins in JinDo, as isdoes the [[Shu-Korath]] religion prevalent in [[Teod]] and [[Arelon]]. Like the [[Svordish]], the JinDo language has managed to survive Fjordell hegemony, perhaps due to the influence of JinDo culture throughout the empire.
 
There is a meditative martial art originating from JinDo called [[ChayShan]], which can be used to help people focus their minds. This martial art is also the manifestation of [[Investiture]] in the region. JinDo practitioners of ChayShan can use certain body movements to magically enhance themselves, though this effect appears to be temporary.{{book ref|Elantris|61}}
