Book Synopsis The A to Z of Jainism by : Kristi L. Wiley
Download or read book The A to Z of Jainism written by Kristi L. Wiley and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-06-17 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jain is the term used for a person who has faith in the teachings of the Jinas ('Spiritual Victors'). Jinas are human beings who have overcome all passions (kasayas) and have attained enlightenment or omniscience (kevala-jnana), who teach the truths they realized to others, and who attain liberation (moksa) from the cycle of rebirth (samsara). At the core of these teachings is nonviolence (ahimsa), which has remained the guiding principle of Jain ethics and practices to this day. In comparison with other religious traditions of South Asia, Jains are few in number, comprising less than one percent of India's population. The lay and mendicant communities of the Jain, however, have maintained an unbroken presence in India for more than 2,500 years and have influenced its culture throughout this time. The A to Z of Jainism covers the history of Jainism that spans a period of more than 2,500 years. The history, values, concepts, and scriptures; eminent mendicant, lay leaders, and scholars; and places, institutions, social, and cultural factors are covered in over 450 dictionary entries. This comprehensive reference work also includes an introductory essay, explanation of the Jain scriptures, chronology, appendixes, and bibliography. This book provides an excellent introduction and overview to Jainism for scholars, students, and general readers.

Download or read book Finding Zero written by Amir D. Aczel and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention of numbers is perhaps the greatest achievement of the human mind-- virtually everything in our lives is digital, numerical, quantified. However, the origins of these numbers has until now been unknown. Amir Aczel crisscrosses the world, scouring dusty, moldy texts, cross-examining self-proclaimed experts with wildly differing theories, to discover where the so-called Hindu-Arabic numerals come from. It is this search that leads him to explore uncharted territory, to go on a grand quest into India, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and ultimately into the wilds of Cambodia. There he is blown away to find the earliest zero-- the keystone of our entire system of numbers-- on a crumbling, vine-covered wall of a seventh-century temple adorned with eaten-away erotic sculptures. While on this odyssey, Aczel meets a host of fascinating characters: academics in search of truth, jungle trekkers looking for adventure, surprisingly honest politicians, shameless smugglers, and treacherous archaeological thieves-- who finally reveal where our numbers come from. Aczel takes the reader on a fascinating ride-- Front book jacket flap.
