The religious tradition of the Jainas, unique in many respects, presents a fascinating array of doctrinal and social structures that stem from the antivedic movements of ancient times. Drawing extensively on primary sources, Professor Jaini provides a comprehensive introduction to the Jaina experience. Beginning with the Life of Mahavira the author elucidates the essentials of Jaina cosmology and philosophy as well as of the "path of purification" through which the soul may escape from its Karmic defilements and attain eternal salvation. This path constitutes the integral element within the broader framework of Jaina literature, lay ritual and the sociohistorical factors, which enabled Jainism to survive and prosper to the present day. In particular, the author has examined the cardinal doctrine of ahimsa (nonharming), both in its impact upon Jaina religious consciousness and as a standard in applying its sacred principles to the conduct of every day life.
