	1	Jaini, Padmanabh S. THE JAINA PATH OF PURIFICATION. Motilal Banarsidass, Delhi, 2001, reprint. 374 pp + Additions and Corrections, 8vo (8 1/2" H), soft cover. ISBN 8120815785 B&w illustrations. "The religious tradition of the Jainas, unique in many respects, presents a fascinating array of doctrinal and social structures that stem from the anti-vedic 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 c o s m o logy 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 elements within the broader framework of Jaina liter at ur e, l ay 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 (non-harming), both in its impact upon Jaina religious co nsc iou sne ss and as a standard in applying its sacred principles to the conduct of everyday life." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - faint small number indent on front cover. Very Good+ Price: 15.00 USD
