Jainism 101 - an overview of Jain philosophySudhir Shah
Jainism 101 gives a brief overview of the basics of Jain philosophy. Stemming from ancient shramanic tradition of India, this simple but profound path is as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. Jain way of life is based on three principles Ahimsa (non-injury), Anekantvad (Non-absolutism) and Aparigraha (non-attachment).
These are the slides of Dada Rainjitananda's Webinar on Daily Practices to Transform Yourself. This was the second Webinar and it is focused on the practice of Yama.
Unbridled economic growth has locked our identities to the things we possess. Our individuality is shaped by what we own rather than the relationships we have with other people or our landscape. Museums have encouraged this. If they are not seduced by the glamour of treasure, they are overly concerned with narrative so that the sole purpose of objects is to tell a linear human story, invariably one of ‘progress’.
The Happy Museum Project looks at how the museums can respond to the challenges presented by the need to create a low-carbon future where prosperity relies not on an individual’s ability to consume but on his or her capacity to co-operate and collaborate. Its proposition is that museums are well placed to play an active part, but that grasping the opportunity will require reimagining some key aspects of their role, both in terms of their relationship with their visitors and communities, but also in the way they relate to the objects in their collections
WHAT ARE EXPERIMENTS?
The experiment is the most powerful method in the psychologist's toolkit because it is the only scientific technique for revealing causal relationships - the causes of human behaviour.
Right: stop there. It's a causal relationship, as in cause-and-effect.
It's not a casual relationship; a casual relationship is when he never calls you back.
These are the characteristics of experiments:
Manipulate the IV*, while
controlling the extraneous variables in a
controlled environment**, in order to
measure the DV, which will
prove or disprove the null hypothesis†

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.

5. OPINIONS OF WESTERN
PHILOSOPHERS
Jainism is of a very high order. Its
important teachings are based upon
science. The more the scientific
knowledge advances, the more the Jain
teachings will be proved.
…….Dr. L. P Tessitori (Italy)
5
6. PRINCIPAL DOCTRINES
• Ahimsa (Non-violence through
mind, speech or action)
• Anekantvad (Multifacetedness/ Non
absolutism)
• Aparigraha (Non-possessiveness/
Non-attachment)
6
7. AHIMSA (Non Violence)

8. ANEKANTVAD ( NON-
ABSOLUTISM)
– Manifold aspects of Absolute truth
– Open mindedness
– Active Listening
– Consideration of different opinions and
viewpoints to gain better understanding
of the truth(reality) which has many
facets
8
9. ANEKANTVAD ( NON-ABSOLUTISM)
• All claims of “truth” are Relative or Non-
absolute
• Truth is expressed in many ways, usually a
part of whole truth is emphasized
• One cannot make definite statement about
Truth, each statement is true in its own
limited sense.
9
10. Aparigraha
(Non-possessiveness/non-attachment)
• Limiting personal needs and possessions, because
these not only harm the environment but also
generate unreasonable attachment to objects that
impede spiritual progress.
• Parigraha (Possessiveness/Attachment) is the
primary cause of all violence.
• In fact, true Non-violence can not be
achieved without the spirit of Aparigraha.

11. JAINISM BELIEFS
1. All beings have souls. All souls are equal.
2. Soul is neither created, nor destroyed.

• Positive thought and good wishes for all
• Reverence for all life as well as matter
• Living with values, instead of monetary
affordability

• What one sows, one reaps
• Our intention behind our actions of mind, speech
and body binds us with Karma
• Only WE are responsible for our past, present and
future, not God’s will and only WE can alter it.
No one else can! The power is within us.

18. SUMMARY
Jainism is a rational philosophy for spiritual progress,
well being of all living beings, personal and global peace,
and environmental protection. Jains have followed this
system for centuries as a non-violent, peaceful
community. Its three “A”s provide much needed wisdom
and direction for alleviating, if not resolving, many of the
problems threatening our planet in the 21st century.
Current world challenges include fundamentalism,
terrorism, war, global poverty, and human and
environmental degradation. Jainism offers advice in
addressing these issues. 18
