Товч агуулга:The Doctrine of the Jainas is a classic scholarly study of Jainism written by the distinguished German Indologist Walther Schubring. Based on ancient Jain scriptures and traditional sources, the book provides a systematic and comprehensive account of Jain religious doctrine, philosophy, ethics, and monastic practices. Schubring examines the origins and development of Jainism, the teachings of Mahavira, the concepts of soul (jīva) and non-soul (ajīva), karma, rebirth, and liberation (moksha). The book also discusses the Jain worldview, cosmology, ascetic discipline, and ethical principles, particularly the doctrine of non-violence (ahimsa), which occupies a central place in Jain thought. Drawing extensively from original Jain texts, the author presents Jainism as one of the most significant religious and philosophical traditions of India. The work remains an essential reference for students and scholars of religion, philosophy, Indology, and South Asian studies.
