************************************************************ Jainism was born in India about the same period as Buddhism. It was established by Mahavira (c. 599 – 527 BC) in about 500 B. C. He was born near Patna in what is now Bihar state. Mahavira like Buddha belonged to the warrior caste. Mahavira was called ‘Jina’ meaning the big winner and from this name was derived the name of the religion.

In many senses Jainism is similar to Buddhism. Both developed as a dissension to the Brahmanic philosophy that was dominant during that period in north-east India. Both share a belief in reincarnation which eventually leads to liberation. Jainism is different to Buddhism in its ascetic beliefs. Both these religions emphasize non-violence, but non-violence is the main core in Jainism. Mahavira just like Buddha isn’t the first prophet of his religion. In Jainism like Buddhism there is a belief in reincarnation which eventually leads to liberation. Neither of these religions their religious philosophy around worship. But Jainism is different than Buddhism in its ascetic beliefs. Both these religions emphasis on non-violence, but in Jainism non-violence is its main core.

Jains believe that every thing has life and this also includes stones, sand, trees and every other thing. The fact that trees breath came to be known to the science world only from the 20th century. Mahavira who believed that every thing has life and also believed in non-violence practically didn’t eat anything causing his self- starvation to death. Mahavira was also extremely ascetic and walked around completely naked because of his renouncement of life. After years of hardship and meditation he attained enlightenment; thereafter he preached Jainism for about 30 years and died at Pava (also in Bihar) in 527 BC.

Mahavira’s religion followers are less extreme than him in diets. They are vegetarians. But the religious Jains will do everything possible to prevent hurting any being. They won’t walk in fields where there are insects to prevent the possibility of stepping on them. They also cover their mouth to prevent the possibility of swallowing small invisible microbes. They mostly do not work in professions where there is a possibility of killing any living being like in agriculture instead professions like banking and business. But it is not clear what came first, businessmen who adopted Jain philosophy because it was easy for them to follow or Jainish philosophy which convinced the Jains to adopt non violent professions.

There are two Jain philosophies. Shvetember and Digamber. Digamber monks like Mahavira don’t wear any clothes, but normally they don’t walk like that outside their temples. The Digambers include among them only men. The Shvetembers monks wear white clothes and they include women.

Jainism November 2011

Jainism • Jainism is an Indian religion of ancient origins • There are between four and twelve million Jains, mostly in India • Jains value non-violence and asceticism • Jain has elements in common with Hinduism and Buddhism, but with notable distinguishing features Note: the swastika is an ancient Jain holy symbol. It is still commonly used in many parts of Asia as a religious symbol and symbol of good luck

The Mahavira • Jains claim that their religion has always existed • According to legend, there have been 24 Tirthankaras (“Fordmakers”), holy teachers who preach the dharma • The 24th Tirthankara was the Mahavira (“Great Hero”), a prince who died circa 527 BCE • The Mahavira was a prince, but renounced his wealth to live as an ascetic • According to legend, the Mahavira practiced extreme asceticism for twelve years, owning nothing, not speaking, wearing no clothes, fasting extensively, and enduring torment by passers-by, until he became enlightened • For the rest of his life, the Mahavira taught the dharma to a large number of disciples • In Jainism, dharma is said to be the true nature of a thing. It also refers to the teachings of Jainism

Denominations of Jainism • Two main denominations of Jainism exist: • Digambaras (“sky-clad”) retain the ancient Jain custom of monastic nudity • Digambara Jains do not believe that women are capable of achieving enlightenment • Digambara Jains believe that the Mahavira’s teachings, the Agamas, were lost in an ancient famine • Svetambaras (“white-clad”) differ in minor ways from Digambaras • Sventambara monks and nuns wear white cloth robes • Svetambara Jains believe that women are capable of becoming fully enlightened • Svetambara nuns outnumber monks • Svetambara Jains believe that the majority of the Agamas are preserved in the Jain oral tradition (Jain monastics were not allowed to own books)

Jain Beliefs • Jains believe in karma and reincarnation • In Jainism, karma is particles that are accumulated through good and bad deeds, and stay with a person through reincarnation • The world passes through cycles of progress and decay • We live in a time of decay and moral confusion, necessitating teachers like the Mahavira, the Tirthankara of the modern age • Jainism is neither wholly theistic nor wholly atheistic; Jains believe in celestial beings (devas) which are similar to Hindu gods, but do not believe them to be omnipotent; also, spiritually advanced beings (Jinas) have god-like qualities, but do not intervene in mortal affairs

Enlightenment • The highest goal in Jain religious life is to free the true self, or jiva • Unlike atman or anatman, the jiva is unique and real • Jains strive to bring forth the pure jiva through meditation in order to enter a blissful state • A person who has attained this state is called a Jina (“winner”), like the Tirthankaras • Only through freeing oneself of karma can a person attain the state of kevala (a state of spiritual perfection and omniscience) and become a Jina • Although Jains believe in gods and demons, they believe that only humans can attain enlightenment • To avoid accumulating karma, Jains practice ahimsa, aparigraha, and anekantwad

Ahimsa: Non-Violence • Ahimsa, or non-violence, is central to Jain life • Jains practice strict pacifism, even avoiding abusive words and thoughts • Ahimsa extends to non-human beings • Jains are vegetarians • Jains believe that living organisms exist everywhere, and care must be taken not to harm them • Some Jain monks cover their mouths to avoid breathing in organisms, and sweep the ground in front of them to avoid stepping on living beings • Some Jains maintain animal sanctuaries to care for injured animals • The Jain doctrine of ahimsa was very influential upon Mohandas Gandhi

Aparigraha: Nonattachment • Freedom from samsara comes through nonattachment to people and things • Jain monastics are expected to have few possessions • A digambara monk may own only a peacock-feather broom and a water gourd • Lay Jains are also expected to live as modestly as possible

Anekantwad: Non-Absolutism • The doctrine of anekantwad requires Jains to remain open-minded to other perspectives • Ideally, anekantwad is neither exclusive nor relativistic, but encourages open-minded dialogue and reconciliation of opposing views • Historically, Jains have been friendly towards other religious traditions, fostering inter-religious dialogue • Reality, Jains claim, is too complex for any one view to claim exclusive truth • The parable of “The Blind Men and the Elephant” illustrates the doctrine of anekantwad

Jain Asceticism • Jain monastic life is extremely ascetic • Jain monastics often sleep without covering and fast extensively • At initiation, a Jain monastic’s hair must be pulled out at the root • Lay Jains are expected to take twelve vows: • Nonviolence • Truthfulness • Avoidance of stealing • Having sex only within marriage • Owning only what is needed • Limited area of activity • Limited quantity of things owned • Avoiding pointless harmful activities • Meditation for at least 48 minutes per day • Restricting certain activities to certain times • Living as an ascetic for a period of time • Giving to monastics

Sallekhana • Jains believe that practicing asceticism can burn away karma, bringing forth the true jiva • As long as a person is alive, he or she accumulates karma, causing reincarnation into the world of samsara • Some Jains choose to undertake the ritual of sallekhana to ensure a favourable rebirth by burning karma at the end of life • Sallekhana is a fast to death, accompanied by intensive meditation and reflection upon life • Although sallekhana is not mandatory and requires permission from a religious leader, it is done by many Jains each year, usually by the elderly or terminally ill

Jain Festivals • Jain holy days provide occasion for fasting and purification • The festival of lights, Diwali, commemorates the enlightenment of the Mahavira • Paryushan Mahaparva is the festival of atonement, culminating in the Day of Forgiveness • Jains fast, listen to lectures on scripture, and practice forgiveness • Pilgrimages are popular in Jainism • Bihar, in northern India near Nepal, is a holy city in Jainism

Jainism Worldwide • Shree Chitrabhanu was the first Jain monk to leave India, travelling to the United States in the 1970s • Acharya Tulsi initiated the Anuvrat Movement in 1949, allowing people to take limited Jain vows to become “semi-monks” or “semi-nuns” in order to cultivate world peace • Jains do not seek to convert others, but often strive to sow world peace and environmental respect • Small Jain communities exist in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Africa
