Description
This scholarly work presents a deep comparative study of Jainism and Buddhism, arguing that the roots of both traditions share a common philosophical ground. Author Sital Prasad explores the parallels in doctrines such as Nirvana, Karma, and Ahimsa, and posits that early Buddhism may have drawn extensively from older Jain teachings. The book provides a wealth of references from both Pali and Jain texts to show how closely intertwined these spiritual paths once were.
Based on first-hand research—including a month-long stay at the Vidyalankara College in Ceylon and discussions with eminent scholars—this book illuminates how both Mahavira and Gautama Buddha shaped Indian religious thought. It also delves into the historical rivalry between the two traditions and their later influence on Western religions like Judaism and Christianity. A must-read for those interested in comparative religion, ancient Indian philosophy, or early ascetic traditions.
