Jainism

Jainism: Or The Early Faith Of Asoka (1877) is a book written by Edward Thomas that explores the early history and beliefs of Jainism, one of the oldest religions in India. The book focuses on the reign of Emperor Asoka, who ruled over India in the 3rd century BCE and was a patron of Buddhism and Jainism. Thomas provides a detailed account of the teachings of Jainism, including its emphasis on non-violence, asceticism, and the pursuit of spiritual purity. He also examines the role of Jainism in Indian society, its influence on other religions, and its impact on the development of Indian culture. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and the cultural heritage of India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
