  • Nonviolence in the Hindu, Jain and Buddhist Traditions Dr
    1 Nonviolence in the Hindu, Jain and Buddhist traditions Dr. Vincent Sekhar, SJ Arrupe Illam Arul Anandar College Karumathur – 625514 Madurai Dt. INDIA E-mail: [email protected] Introduction: Religion is a human institution that makes sense to human life and society as it is situated in a specific human context. It operates from ultimate perspectives, in terms of meaning and goal of life. Religion does not merely provide a set of beliefs, but offers at the level of behaviour certain principles by which the believing community seeks to reach the proposed goals and ideals. One of the tasks of religion is to orient life and the common good of humanity, etc. In history, religion and society have shaped each other. Society with its cultural and other changes do affect the external structure of any religion. And accordingly, there might be adaptations, even renewals. For instance, religions like Buddhism and Christianity had adapted local cultural and traditional elements into their religious rituals and practices. But the basic outlook of Buddhism or Christianity has not changed. Their central figures, tenets and adherence to their precepts, etc. have by and large remained the same down the history. There is a basic ethos in the religious traditions of India, in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. Buddhism may not believe in a permanent entity called the Soul (Atman), but it believes in ​ ​ the Act (karma), the prime cause for the wells or the ills of this world and of human beings. ​ ​ 1 Indian religions uphold the sanctity of life in all its forms and urge its protection.

  • Jain Values, Worship and the Tirthankara Image
    JAIN VALUES, WORSHIP AND THE TIRTHANKARA IMAGE B.A., University of Washington, 1974 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard / THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May, 1980 (c)Roy L. Leavitt In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of Anthropology & Sociology The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date 14 October 1980 The main purpose of the thesis is to examine Jain worship and the role of the Jains1 Tirthankara images in worship. The thesis argues that the worshipper emulates the Tirthankara image which embodies Jain values and that these values define and, in part, dictate proper behavior. In becoming like the image, the worshipper's actions ex• press the common concerns of the Jains and follow a pattern that is prized because it is believed to be especially Jain. The basic orientation or line of thought is that culture is a system of symbols. These symbols are implicit agreements among the community's members, agreements which entail values and which permit the Jains to meaningfully interpret their experiences and guide their actions.

THESE notes on Jain ism have been compiled mainly from information supplied to me by Gujarati speaking Jaina, so it has seemed advisable to use the Gujarati forms of their technical terms. It would be impossible to issue this little book without expressing my indebtedness to the Rev. G. P. Taylor, D. D., Principal of the Fleming Stevenson Divinity College, Ahmedabad, who placed all the resources of his valuable library at my disposal, and also to the various Jaina friends who so courteously bore with my interminable questionings. I am specially grateful to a learned Jaina gentleman who read through all the MS. with me, and thereby saved me, I hope, from some of the numerous pitfalls which beset the pathway of anyone who ventures to explore an alien faith.

JAN 9 1986 EDITORIAL PREFACE THE writers of this series of volumes on the variant forms of religious life in India are governed in their work by two impelling motives. I. They endeavour to work in the sincere and sympathetic spirit of science. They desire to understand the perplexingly involved developments of thought and life in India and dis passionately to estimate their value. They recognize the futility of any such attempt to understand and evaluate, unless it is grounded in a thorough historical study of the phenomena investigated. In recognizing this fact they do no more than share what is common ground among all modern students of religion of any repute.

  • Death in Jainism
    Death in Jainism The ultimate aim of every Jain is to be free from bodily bondage (of karma) and be a free pure soul (jiva ), which would eliminate the cycle of death and rebirth ( sansār). Caught in sansar, the soul forgets its real nature and its effort to search for the truth is obscured by the passions. For Jains, the Law which regulates the action of Karma – ‘As you sow, so you shall reap’, is based upon the principle of cause and effect. Jains believe that one’s thoughts and feelings determine what happens to one’s life and in the future. Omniscients who have absolute perception and knowledge have stated that baser emotions such as anger, greed and revenge cause influx of karma and bondage of material karmas. "Drier," more dispassionate souls are not so easily polluted by negative karma, whereas karmic matter is more easily attracted to souls that are "moist" with desires. Equanimity in all actions through mind, speech and body is the key to prevention of further karmic influx and human beings have the greatest capacity to shed karma through austerities . As the karmas are shed, the soul gets purer. Purification of the soul leads to self-realisation. The Omniscient Jina have described the 3 jewels – enlightened (samyag) world-view (darśana, faith in reality), enlightened knowledge (jńāna) and enlightened conduct (caritra). These three together constitute the path to liberation – analogy to a ladder for climbing Samyag-darśana-jńāna-cāritrāṇi-mokṣamārgaḥ Tattvartha.Sutra. 1.1 Acquire perfect knowledge of the Law! why do you not study it? It is difficult to obtain instruction in it after this life.

  • History of Jainism
    A HISTORY OF THE JAINS ASHIM KUMAR ROY 1984 First Published 1984 GITANJALI PUBLISHING HOUSE 2/12 Vikram Vihar Lajpat Nagar IV, New Delhi-110024 Ashim Kumar Roy GITANJALI PUBLISHING HOUSE NEW DELHI PRINTED BY RISE PRESS PRINTERS DESIGNERS PUBLISHERS 902/290 SHALAMAR INDUSTRIAL AREA P O NEW SUBZI MANDI DELHI 110033 INTRODUCTION In the sixth century BC Buddhism had just been founded. The Vedic religion was almost getting extinct and Hinduism as we know it today was at a nebulous stage. Jainism at that time was not only a mature and living religion but also one claiming a hoary antiquity. All its tenets had fully developed by that time and these tenets have remained almost unchanged all these 2500 years. Jainism is thus the oldest living religion of India. But age alone is not what gives importance to Jainism. This religion is important because it has greatly influenced practically all-religious thinking of India. If, as is thought by many, the spirit of Indian religious life was 'life and world negating' it might be said that it was mainly due to the influence of Jainism and similar other religions of that time on Indian thought. It also shows the triumph of the Jain spirit over the 'life and world affirming' attitude of the Vedic people who failed to divert the main stream of Indian religious thinking from pessimism to an optimistic and joyous path. The aversion to the killing of animals, the belief that all ascetics are holy people (and conversely that a person in order to be holy should be an ascetic), the theory of the transmigration of the soul, and that 'getting born in this world is itself a punishment' all these are parts of Hindu thinking.

LECTURER ON PALI AT UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF THE GOVERNMENT OF CEYLON OLonfcon PUBLISHED FOR THE PALI TEXT SOCIETY BY HENRY FROWDE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, AMEN CORNER, E.C. 1912 M3 . : OXFORD * .. I I'*: '..'PRINTED BY HORACE HART A* THE UNIVERSITY PRESS EDITOR'S PREFACE A PEW words are necessary to explain how the present work written and one or two should be men- came to be ; points tioned regarding- the aims it is hoped to achieve. Early in 1908 the Government of Ceylon were contemplating a new and revised edition of Tumour's translation of the Maha- vamsa, published in 1837 and reprinted in L. C. Wijesinha's Mahavamsa published in 1889, and were in correspondence on the subject with the Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society. The Society appointed a numerous and influential 1 Committee, and recommended myself as Editor for Europe. By their letter of July 18, 1908, the Government of Ceylon requested me to undertake that post. I took the opportunity at the Congress of Orientalists held at Copenhagen in August, and again at the Congress on the History of Religions held in September at Oxford, to consult my colleagues on the best plan for carrying out the proposed revision. They agreed that the method most likely to lead to a satisfactory result within a reasonable time was to entrust the work to one competent critical scholar who could, if necessary, consult members of the Ceylon Committee, but who should be himself responsible for all the details of the work.
