| | Jainism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jains regard him and all Tirthankars as a reformer who called for a return to beliefs and practices in line with the eternal universal philosophy upon which the faith is said to be based. | | | Jains see their faith as teaching the individual to live, think and act in ways that respect and honor the spiritual nature of every living being to the best of one's human abilities. | | | According to Jain beliefs, Jain philosophy is a codification of eternal universal truths which at times lapse among humanity, but later reappear through the teachings of human beings who have gained enlightenment or omniscience (Keval Gnan). |

| | Jain Agama Literature |
| | These texts are the holy scriptures of the Jain religion. | | | This agam has the same place in Jain literature as the Dhammapada in Buddhism and the Geeta in the Hindu religion. | | | Hence, the Jain religion does not have one sacred book like the Bible or Koran, but it has many books complied by many followers. |

| | This town is known for religious tolerance and the Jain Teethankaras are worshiped on the same consecrated grounds as Lord Manjunatha (Shiva).The priests are Vaishnavites whereas the hereditary guardians are Jains by faith. | | | The Jain religion is contemporary of Buddhism, believes in cycle of rebirths and consequently regards life as painful, longing for liberation (see an Introduction to Jainism). | | | It is said that in the third century B.C., Chandragupta Maurya, and his guru Bhadrabahu came here from North India and under took Sallekhana (inviting death by fasting). |

| | Jain Art from India |
| | There is much in the historical development of Jain art which has parallels in the religious art of both Hinduism and Buddhism, but there are other aspects, particularly in relation to the role of the image in worship, which diverge fundamentally from the other traditional Indian religions. | | | These dissenting voices were troubled by the inherent contradiction between image worship and Jain orthodox teachings: the Jina is a liberated soul, freed of its material body and resides in the celestial abode, represented as the heavenly assembly hall (samavasarana). | | | The Jinas were intended to serve as reminders to the faithful of the possibility of liberation; i.e., they served as role models for both the Jain laity, guiding their ethical code of living, and for the aspirant Jina, providing inspiration and a reminder that spiritual liberation is an attainable goal. |

| | Jain Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Furthermore, like the Hindus and Buddhists, Jains believe that the only reason that personal advantage accrues to moral behavior is that the very structure of the universe, in the form of the law of karma, makes it so. | | | The Jain list of pramanas includes sense perception, valid testimony (including scriptures), extra-sensory perception, telepathy, and kevala, the state of omniscience of a perfected soul. | | | Like Buddhists and Hindus, Jains believe that good karma leads to better circumstances in the next life, and bad karma to worse. |

| | Jain Scriptures |
| | About that time, around 360 B.C., the Jains were concerned that the knowledge of the holy scriptures might get lost. | | | In the olden days, the knowledge of scriptures was passed on by the word of mouth, taught by a teacher. | | | To preserve the scriptures, a great conference of monks was organized in Patliputra (now Patna, in Bihar, India) to put the contents of the sacred texts in order. |

| | Jain History |
| | Several archaeological discoveries and studies of the Buddhist and Vedic/Puranic literature has confirmed the antiquity of the jain tradition. | | | You will note that several famous philosophers were contemporary of Lord Mahavira, and that 13-15th century was the age of reform in India as well as in Europe. | | | For example, the Kalpa-Sutra gives a list of ancient orders (Ganas etc.) Many historians were not convinced of the historicity of this information until the excavations at Mathura un-earthed many inscriptions mentioning the very same orders. |
