5.0 out of 5 stars
Mind-blowing,
By "shadowchilder" (Valencia, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: That Which Is: Tattvartha Sutra (Sacred Literature) (Hardcover)
I read this book as a part of my studies in Eastern philosophy, in particular Indian philosophy, and the only term I can come up with is "mind-blowing". I considered myself an agnostic until I read this book... This book contains within the basis of the Jain religion, as well as many philosophical points which students of Eastern (and in particular Indian) philosophy and religion cannot ignore. Truly the best and most comprehensive text on the subject of Jainism.
