The Heart of Jainism: Where Soul Meets Science | Learn How Ancient Jain Philosophy Guides Conscious Living in the Modern Era

One evening, a group of young people gathers before a Sadhvi in a Jain Sthanak. Their questions are simple, though difficult to answer: how to live well, how to deal with anger and attachment, how to make sense of suffering, how to stay honest in the middle of ordinary life. What follows is a series of conversations in which the teachings of the Tirthankars are slowly understood in today’s context. Ahimsa, karma, aparigraha, dhyana, kaivalya, and the householder’s path are seen afresh as part of everyday life. In The Heart of Jainism, Daaji brings Jain wisdom into everyday life through stories, conversations, and reflections.
