Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This informative book provides a complete noviceâs guide to Jainism, one of the oldest living religions of the world. Dating back to the sixth century B.C., it was founded by Mahavira, a contemporary of Buddha. Also known as the Jina, or conqueror, he achieved enlightenment after twelve years of rigorous self-denial and taught that liberation from the relentless cycle of birth and rebirth can be achieved through right faith, knowledge, conduct, and asceticism. Like Buddhism, Jainism rejects the authority of the Vedas and the caste system, and advocates non-violence, or ahimsa, towards all living beings. The book explores Jainismâs fascinating history and philosophy, and provides an overview of the three main Jain sects: the Digambaras, the Svetambaras, and the Sthanakavasis. It discusses Jainismâs distinctive beliefs, such as the existence of multiple universes, the concept of karma and the nine categories of existence. The author also examines the role of asceticism and monasticism in Jainism, and presents the key tenets of Jain ethics and morality, which center around the idea of non-violence and respect for all life forms.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of Jainism, an ancient Indian religion that emphasizes non-violence, self-control, and liberation from the cycle of rebirth. The author explores the historical roots of Jainism, tracing its origins to the sixth century BCE and its founder, Mahavira. Through a detailed examination of Jaina philosophy, cosmology, and ethics, the book sheds light on the religion's core beliefs and practices. It examines the Nine Categories of Fundamental Truths, the concept of karma, and the path to liberation. The author also provides insights into the daily lives of Jaina ascetics and laypeople, including their rituals, vows, and mythology. By exploring the unique features of Jainism, such as its emphasis on non-injury to all living beings and its rejection of a creator god, the book offers a fresh perspective on the Indian religious landscape. Ultimately, it invites readers to consider the profound implications of Jainism's teachings on the nature of existence, the meaning of life, and the pursuit of spiritual liberation.
