Jainism Page 1 of 6 Printable version of this page Jainism Worship Introduction Jain temple worship seems to contain elements similar to worship in Hindu temples. The motive and purpose of Jain worship is very different from worship in many other religions - in fact it would seem that Jain principles make worship both unnecessary and futile. "What does it mean to worship beings that one believes are completely indifferent to, and entirely beyond the reach, of any form of worship whatsoever?" Lawrence A Babb Jains don't worship to please gods, or in the hope of getting something from gods in return. But nevertheless, Jains do worship. At a superficial level Jain temple worship seems to contain elements similar to worship in Hindu temples. This is the result of the cultural influence of other Indian religions on the Jain community, and not a reflection of the Jain philosophy. A key difference between Jain and Hindu worship, which seems similar on the surface, is that although Jains appear to worship the tirthankaras in particular they don't worship them as persons: what they worship is the ideal of perfection that the tirthankaras have achieved.

47. Jainism The word jainism comes from the Sanskrit word for saint jinah which dreives Along with Hinduism and Buddhism, jainism is one of the three most ancient http://www.crystalinks.com/jainism.html

The word Jainism comes from the Sanskrit word for saint "jinah" which dreives from "Jayati" meaning "he conquers" - thus they are conquers of mortal bondage. Along with Hinduism and Buddhism, Jainism is one of the three most ancient of India's religions still in existence. Although Jainism has [fewer] followers than Hinduism and Sikhism it has had an influence on Indian culture for over 2,500 years, making significant contributions in philosophy, logic, art and architecture, grammar, mathematics, astronomy, astrology, and literature. Lord Mahavira is regarded as the last of a line of 24 holy and spiritually enlightened beings, the Tirthankaras. Mahavira was born in India in 599 BC. At the age of thirty he gave up his life as a wealthy prince and became a religious asceti. He was a reformer and propagator of the religion. Jainism arose as a separate religion in India. It was founded at least at the same time as Hinduism or even before that (as some historians believe). At the heart of right conduct for Jains lie the five great vows: Nonviolence (Ahimsa) not to cause harm to any living beings Truthfulness (Satya) to speak the harmless truth only Non-stealing (Asteya)not to take anything not properly given Chastity (Brahmacharya) not to indulge in sensual pleasure Non-possession/Non-attachment (Aparigraha) complete detachment from people, places, and material things.

E-mail Us Jain Study Circular Glimpses of the July-October 2005 Issue Quotations from scriptures: Selections from TATTVAARTH SUTRA TATTVAARTH SUTRA is a brief treatise on TATTVAs - aspects of reality. In the process of discussing the aspects of reality, Acharya Umaswati presents the theory of karma and the path to salvation. In previous issues, rational perception and rational knowledge were explained. In this chapter, Acharya Umaswati continues the discussion of soul - the first and basic aspect of reality. Quotations From Acharya Umaswati's TATTVAARTH SUTRA All worldly beings have been associated with luminous and karmic bodies from time immemorial. The material karmas carry the imprints of abstract karmas of a soul, that is, the feelings and thoughts of a worldly soul. That is why worldly souls are involved in the cycles of birth and death. They have possessed karmic bodies since time immemorial. The karmic body is responsible for the physical body of a living being. The physical body needs energy to function and so a living being needs the luminous body.

Next Five Great Vows (Maha-vratas) Right knowledge, right faith, and right conduct are the three most essentials for attaining liberation. In order to acquire these, one must observe the five great vows: Non-violence - Ahimsa Truth - Satya Non-stealing - Achaurya or Asteya Celibacy/Chastity - Brahmacharya Non-attachment/Non-possession - Aparigraha Non-violence (Ahimsa): Among these five vows, non-violence (Ahimsa) is the cardinal principle of Jainism and hence it is called the highest religious principle, or the cornerstone of Jainism. Non-violence is the supreme religion (Ahimsa parmo dharma) It is repeatedly said by all Tirthankaras in Jain literature "Do not injure, abuse, oppress, enslave, insult, torment, torture, or kill any creature or living being." According to Jainism all living beings, irrespective of their size, shape, or different spiritual developments are equal. No living being has a right to harm, injure, or kill any other living being, including animals, insects, and plants. Every living being has a right to exist and it is necessary to live with every other living being in perfect harmony and peace. Nonviolence is based on love and kindness for all living beings. Nonviolence in Jainism is not a negative virtue. It is based upon the positive quality of universal love and compassion. One who is actuated by this ideal cannot be indifferent to the suffering of others.

60. Mahavira And Jainism By Sanderson Beck The legendary founder of jainism was called Rishabha, but claims that he lived Mahavira s travels spread jainism to various parts of northern India, http://www.san.beck.org/EC8-Mahavira.html

BECK index Mahavira and Jainism Parshva Mahavira Jainism This chapter has been published in the book For information on ordering click here. The legendary founder of Jainism was called Rishabha, but claims that he lived many millions of years ago are obviously exaggerated. This first Tirthankara (literally "maker of the river-crossing") is said to have invented cooking, writing, pottery, painting, and sculpture, the institution of marriage and ceremonies for the dead. Not much else is recorded about Rishabha and the next twenty Tirthankaras, but the ancient Jaina tradition that there were ascetic religious teachers in India before the coming of the Vedic Aryans is likely from evidence found in the Harappan culture. The twenty-second Tirthankara, Arishtanemi, is mentioned in the Kalpa Sutra . All of the Tirthankaras were Kshatriyas, and Arishtanemi was the son of King Ashvasena of Varanasi (Benares) and cousin of Krishna, who is supposed to have lived during the great Bharata war probably about 900 BC. According to legend Krishna negotiated his marriage to princess Rajamati. However, when Arishtanemi discovered the great number of deer and other animals to be sacrificed at his wedding, he changed his mind to prevent their slaughter, brooded over the cruelty and violence of human society, and soon renounced the world to seek and find enlightenment. Parshva The twenty-third Tirthankara, Parshva, probably lived in the eighth century BC. Legends connect him with snakes, one of whom he saved from fire when a Brahmin ascetic was about to burn a log where it was hiding. He married a princess, and up to the age of thirty he lived in great splendor and happiness as a householder. Then he gave up all his wealth to become an ascetic. After 84 days of intense meditation he became enlightened and taught as a saint for seventy years.
