Jainism is Buddhism's often overlooked cousin. As the only surviving examples of ancient India's non-Vedic religious traditions, these two religions are often grouped together as 'heterodoxies,' but this is to ignore deep differences between Jain and Buddhist beliefs and practices. Unlike Buddhism, Jainism has hardly spread beyond the Indian subcontinent. Yet, unlike Buddhism, Jainism has survived in India where it is a prominent element in the mix of Indian religions today. Although relatively few in numbers, the Jains are a wealthy community and exercise great influence in Indian economic and political life. This book is designed to be an introduction to Jainism as a religious tradition and way of life. While paying due attention to Jainism's history and doctrinal basics, the book also emphasizes the ways in which formal Jain teachings are manifested in the practices of both laity and the monastic elite. In addition, the book explores the distinctive Jain systems of cosmographic and biological knowledge, and it describes how Jainism is woven into the social identities of Jain communities in modern India. *** "Understanding Jainism is an absolute "must-have" for college and public library Religious Studies shelves, highly recommended." -- Midwest Book Review, Library Bookwatch: July 2015, The Religion/Spirituality Shelf (Series: Understanding Faith) [Subject: Jainism, Religious Studies, India Studies] Faith - Wikipedia Faith (Pali: Saddh Sanskrit: raddh) is an important constituent element of the teachings of Gautama Buddha in both the Theravada and the Mahayana traditions Preston Faith Forum Preston Faith Forum was formed in 2003 as a way of representing the voice of faith groups and communities Since then the Faith Forum has provided a means for Major Religions Ranked by Size - Adherentscom Major Religions of the World Ranked by Number of Adherents (Sizes shown are approximate estimates and are here mainly for the purpose of ordering the groups not BBC - Religion: Islam A substantial introduction to the religion and Muslim beliefs practices and history from the BBC Major Branches of Religions - Adherentscom This is a listing of major branches of world religions ranked by size or by number of adherents Religion The Story of India - Photo Gallery PBS Buddhism is a religion or philosophy founded in the 5th century BCE by Siddhartha Gautama the Buddha born a prince of the Shakya clan in northern India Anselm of Canterbury - Wikipedia Anselm of Canterbury (c 1033 21 April 1109) was a Benedictine monk abbot philosopher and theologian of the Catholic Church who held the office of archbishop JAINISM While Jainism does not believe in the concept of God as a creator protector and destroyer of the universe the philosophical concepts of Utpda Vyaya and Understanding The Endtime Endtime Ministries with Irvin Understanding the Endtime is the must-have 14 lesson DVD series that explains end time Bible prophecy Lessons on Islam in Bible prophecy the New World Order One Note on Jainism Pawapuri tirth A Note on Jainism By Dr Ranu Jain (Reader Tata Institute of Social Sciences Mumbai India) Jainism is popularly known for its properties of Ahimsa (non violence
