 Trends I’ve noticed

 Small Challenges Jainism faces

 What is “being Jain” about?

 Q&A
Community Story
 For the first time in the US, Jain kids have a circle of
  Jain friends right from birth.

 Every temple has its own cool hang out spot
Jains Are Everywhere
 Jains in business, education, non-profits, law, etc.

 More Jains in public sphere. This is a key change.
Some Trends
 Less rituals, more questioning (people question and
  doubt much more than before. Maybe good for
  learning)

 Change in language used (language poll)

 Jains from India are taking more roles in temples - is
  this keeping more culture in the community?

 Jainism is a way of life- only individual level so far
Small Challenges
 Will the religion continue without connection to
  Indian languages and thereby scripture?

 Who will take on leadership and when?



 What face will Jainism have in the future when our
  generation takes on full leadership of the Jain
  community?
Two Big Challenges of
           Jainism
 The challenge of Jainism from my perspective is that
  Jainism is practiced largely on an individual level.
  (nonviolence example)
   How will we make Jainism more than just a personal
    and individual level religion?
   Will the mark be left outside of the Jain
    community?(Activist poll)

 Jainism IS changing whether we want it to or not.
  What changes is our generation going to be about?
What is “being Jain”
                  about?
 My thoughts
       Living non-ascetic life. Lives in the ‘modern’ world.
       Doing self reflection- meditation
       Training one’s mind on reducing anger, ego, greed, deceit OR reducing
        attachment and aversion
       Acting on principles: Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Aparigraha, Brahmacharya

 Not so concerned with (but not against):
       Diet
       Prescribed rituals
Concluding Thoughts
 Our history outside of India is new.
 Jainism is growing and the Jain community is
  expanding in surprising ways.
 The Jain community has lot of talent and resources.


 Jainism is changing. I hope we take a direction in
  which our Jainism spreads beyond our immediate
  families into the communities and nation we are a
  part of.
Q & A and Contact


 Contact me at hsrikis2@gmail.com if you want to
  talk about anything in the future.

The Challenge(s) of Jainism | Webinar

  • 1.
  • 2. Agenda  Story on community  Trends I’ve noticed  Small Challenges Jainism faces  Two Big Challenges  What is “being Jain” about?  Q&A
  • 3. Community Story  For the first time in the US, Jain kids have a circle of Jain friends right from birth.  Every temple has its own cool hang out spot
  • 4. Jains Are Everywhere  Jains in business, education, non-profits, law, etc.  More Jains in public sphere. This is a key change.
  • 5. Some Trends  Less rituals, more questioning (people question and doubt much more than before. Maybe good for learning)  Change in language used (language poll)  Jains from India are taking more roles in temples - is this keeping more culture in the community?  Jainism is a way of life- only individual level so far
  • 6. Small Challenges  Will the religion continue without connection to Indian languages and thereby scripture?  Who will take on leadership and when?  What face will Jainism have in the future when our generation takes on full leadership of the Jain community?
  • 7. Two Big Challenges of Jainism  The challenge of Jainism from my perspective is that Jainism is practiced largely on an individual level. (nonviolence example)  How will we make Jainism more than just a personal and individual level religion?  Will the mark be left outside of the Jain community?(Activist poll)  Jainism IS changing whether we want it to or not. What changes is our generation going to be about?
  • 8. What is “being Jain” about?  My thoughts  Living non-ascetic life. Lives in the ‘modern’ world.  Doing self reflection- meditation  Training one’s mind on reducing anger, ego, greed, deceit OR reducing attachment and aversion  Acting on principles: Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Aparigraha, Brahmacharya  Not so concerned with (but not against):  Diet  Prescribed rituals
  • 9. Concluding Thoughts  Our history outside of India is new.  Jainism is growing and the Jain community is expanding in surprising ways.  The Jain community has lot of talent and resources.  Jainism is changing. I hope we take a direction in which our Jainism spreads beyond our immediate families into the communities and nation we are a part of.
