Download or read book Jaina Studies written by Ludwig Alsdorf and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1962, Professor Dr Ludwig Alsdorf gave two lectures in Paris, on the current state of Jain studies and future tasks. Those lectures are as relevant as ever and ought to be read by anyone who wants to work in the field of Prakrit .The lectures were translated into English by Bal Patil, at the request of Professor Dr A N Upadhye and have been revised and edited by Professor Dr Willem Bollée, son in law of Professor Alsdorf. They have been presented in the form of the present book.The book deals with a brief history of Jaina Studies in the West; a history of the Jaina religion itself, a scholarly comparison with Buddhism, pointing out the strong Jaina influence on Buddhism giving examples of words like asava , tai . Alsdorf points out that even for a purely linguistic understanding of Buddhist texts, a study of Jaina scriptures is essential.However, he contends that Jaina philology should not be considered for this purpose only. He mentions the antiquity of the Jaina religion, the importance and impact of its literature, right from the earliest works in middle Indo-Aryan to the modern ones.He saw the continuing Jain literary tradition as representing an uninterrupted tradition on the soil of the motherland . He remarks upon the extensive and varied Jaina usage, sustenance and support of Prakrit and Apabhramsha. He also remarks on the huge impact of Jains on Dravidian literature, especially old Tamil and Kannada literature.He critically examines the language used in the oldest of Jain scriptures, and surveys the opinions of various scholars. Taking the Ashokan inscriptions as a benchmark, he supports the views of Weber and Jacobi, citing copious examples, on the essentially transposition impact of Jaina Maharashtri on what is seen as the canonical Ardha-Magadhi today. He claims that, in reality the name of Ardha-Magadhi, semi-Magadhi, was undoubtedly right for the language of the early Jain canon, but it does not hold true of the canon which we have now .He presents a lucid case for a systematic linguistic study of the canonical texts with the aim of finding Magadhisms and other proofs of translation .He also points out that over the centuries; the copyists had a role to play in normalising the Prakrit and thus helping obfuscate the original Ardha-Magadhi from the Svetambara canon.Professor Alsdorf's observations made in the 1960's hold true even today. He commented that the Jaina canon had always to rely on the labour of an all too small number of western scholars .There are indeed no more than fifty scholars in the West who are doing excellent work in the field of Jaina studies. However, there are rays of hope: The Centre for Jaina Studies at the SOAS in London is the first ever department of Jaina studies at a Western university.The Institute of Jainology, UK is an organisation of Diaspora Jains who are doing commendable work promoting the study of Jainism in the West. This remarkable book carries the observations and conclusions drawn by one of the leading lights in the field of Jaina studies in the 20th century, Ludwig Alsdorf. The book is obligatory reading for any scholar of Jaina studies.We are truly proud of having published this book. It is the first volume of the Pandit Nathuram Premi Research Series.

Book Synopsis Studies in Jaina History and Culture by : Peter Flügel
Download or read book Studies in Jaina History and Culture written by Peter Flügel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last ten years have seen interest in Jainism increasing, with this previously little-known Indian religion assuming a significant place in religious studies. Studies in Jaina History and Culture breaks new ground by investigating the doctrinal differences and debates amongst the Jains rather than presenting Jainism as a seamless whole whose doctrinal core has remained virtually unchanged throughout its long history. The focus of the book is the discourse concerning orthodoxy and heresy in the Jaina tradition, the question of omniscience and Jaina logic, role models for women and female identity, Jaina schools and sects, religious property, law and ethics. The internal diversity of the Jaina tradition and Jain techniques of living with diversity are explored from an interdisciplinary point of view by fifteen leading scholars in Jaina studies. The contributors focus on the principal social units of the tradition: the schools, movements, sects and orders, rather than Jain religious culture in abstract. Peter Flügel provides a representative snapshot of the current state of Jaina studies that will interest students and academics involved in the study of religion or South Asian cultures.

Book Synopsis The Zen Monastic Experience by : Robert E. Buswell Jr.
Download or read book The Zen Monastic Experience written by Robert E. Buswell Jr. and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Buswell, a Buddhist scholar who spent five years as a Zen monk in Korea, draws on personal experience in this insightful account of day-to-day Zen monastic practice. In discussing the activities of the postulants, the meditation monks, the teachers and administrators, and the support monks of the monastery of Songgwang-sa, Buswell reveals a religious tradition that differs radically from the stereotype prevalent in the West. The author's treatment lucidly relates contemporary Zen practice to the historical development of the tradition and to Korean history more generally, and his portrayal of the life of modern Zen monks in Korea provides an innovative and provocative look at Zen from the inside.
Download or read book Open Boundaries written by John E. Cort and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1998-07-10 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open Boundaries provides a new perspective on Jainism, one of the oldest yet least-studied of the world's living religions. Ten closely-focused studies investigate the interactions between Jains and non-Jains in South Asian society, with detailed studies of yoga, tantra, aesthetic theory, erotic poetry, theories of kingship, goddess worship, temple ritual, polemical poetry, religious women, and historiography. Viewing the Jains within a South Asian context results in a strikingly different portrait from the standard models represented in both traditional Western and Indian scholarship.
Book Synopsis Jaina System of Education by : Debendra Chandra Das Gupta
Download or read book Jaina System of Education written by Debendra Chandra Das Gupta and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is historically certain that the Jaina contribution to education was as great, significant and important as that of the Buddhists. The book offers an account by studying the problem in connection with its five important agent, viz. the family, the church, the school, the state and the industry. The title `Jaina System of Education` that the book bears might be more appropriately replaced by `Educational Systems found in Jaina Literature` inasmuch as the Brahmanical the secular and the vocational education have also been dealt with. It is a historical fact that there were no watertight compartments in India separating Jainism Buddhism and other cognare schemes of life and caltgion. They all contributed harmoniously towards the development of culture as whole. Necessarily the contributions of these several systems in the field of education were inseparably mixed up.
