5.0 out of 5 stars An appealing study about Jainism, September 3, 2003
By 
saumilrs (Adelphi, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
For those of you, especially the "Jains" who have been asked to follow the religion blindly or rebel against it, this book provides a good insight into the religion. From personal experience, I can say that after reading the book I have started respecting the religion and its practices.

The most appealing part of the book is that you can look at the religion from a third person perspective without any bias. The author has done a thorough job of studying the religion and not advocating it. As an engineer with a scientific mind, this book is exactly the kind of insight I was hoping for into the religion. Thank you Dr. Jaini!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written scholarly book, September 1, 2008
This is one of the best written books on Jainism written by a professor at Berkeley, who is an expert in Jainism as well as Buddhism.

The book is very well organized and carefully researched.

Unlike many other books, this is written by an actual expert.
