    BUDDHISM AND JAINISM

    Anjali Singh
    B.A. PROGRAMME (III)
    ROLL NO. 213
    RISE OF
    BUDDHISM/JAINISM
    ● The complex rituals and sacrificial ceremonies of the Later
    Vedic period confused the masses and created a
    mayhem.

    ● The languages spoken by the masses such as Prakrit and


    Pali started getting prominence over Sanskrit, a language
    which was limited to priestly and aristocratic class.
    ● The rigid caste system prevalent in India generated
    tensions in society.

    ● Though Buddhism and Jainism did not attack the caste


    system, they were opposed to it.
    PHILOSOPHY
    BUDDHISM IS CENTERED UPON THE
    LIFE AND TEACHINGS OF GAUTAMA
    BUDDHA.
    Whereas Jainism is centered on the
    life and teachings of Mahavira.
    BUDDHISM IS A POLYTHEISTIC
    RELIGION AND ITS MAIN GOAL IS TO
    GAIN ENLIGHTENMENT.
    Jainism is also a polytheistic religion
    and its goals are based on non-
    violence and liberation the soul.
    Principles
    BUDDHISM :
    ● This life is suffering.
    ● The only way to escape from this suffering is
    to dispel one’s cravings and ignorance by
    realising the Four Noble Truths and practising
    the Eightfold Path.
    FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS :
    1. Dukkha (Suffering)
    2. Samudāya (Origin of Suffering)
    3. Nirodha (Cessation of Suffering)
    4. Marga (The Path to the Cessation of
    Suffering)
    THE EIGHTFOLD PATH
    1. Right View
    2. Right Speech
    3. Right Action
    4. Right Resolve
    5. Right Livelihood
    6. Right Effort
    7. Right Mindfulness
    8. Right Concentration
    JAINISM :
    ● Respect all living things.
    ● Attain liberation by avoiding and shedding of
    Bad Karma which is the cause of rebirths and
    all sufferings.
    ● Five Vows and Three Jewels
    THREE JEWELS :

    1. Right Belief
    2. Right Knowledge
    3. Right conduct
    FIVE VOWS :
    1. Ahimsa (Non-violence)
    2. Satya (Truthfulness)
    3. Asteya (Not Stealing)
    4. Aparigraha (Non-Acquisition)
    5. Brahmacharya (Chaste Living)
    TWO FORMS OF THE FIVE VOWS :
    1. Mahavrata : The Five Great Vows
    followed by Jain Monks and Nuns.
    2. Anuvrata : The Lesser Vows followed
    by Jain lay people. These are less strict
    version of the Great Vows
    GOD AND
    Scriptures
    ● Both Buddhism and Jainism do not
    believe in a God as a creator of the
    Universe.

    ● Their Holy Texts are not considered the


    word of God. They are teaching tools to
    guide the individual to enlightenment
    through thought and practice.
    Dharma-
    chakra
    ● The “Wheel of Law” or “Dharmachakra”
    is the most important symbol of
    Buddhism.
    ● According to Buddha, Dharma is the law
    that ensures the welfare of the greatest
    number of people.
    ● The Wheel symbolises the goodness in
    every person.
    ● Jain emblem
    ● The Jain Emblem is composed of many
    fundamental concepts and symbols.

    ● The Jain Emblem represents many


    important concepts to show the path to
    enlightenment by following the basic
    principles of Ahimsa.
    Major sects in
    Buddhism
    Major
    Sects in
    jainism
    Liberation
    In buddhism
    And jainism
    ● “Jainism” comes from the word “Jina” which
    means “victor” connoting the path of victory
    in crossing over life’s stream of rebirths
    through an ethical and spiritual life.
    ● Liberation in Jainism is called “Kaivalya”.
    ● In Jainism, the way of liberation is the ford
    (tirtha), and Tirthankaras "those making the
    ford" (from samsara to moksha) are
    supreme teachers
    ● In Buddhism, Liberation is called
    “Nirvana”.
    ● Buddhism says that through enlightenment
    (bodhi) an individual crosses the river
    of samsara and attain liberation.
