The Timeless Jain Tradition - what would you say about it when asked?

Posted by: Young Jains Blog Editor In: Events| Jain Dharma

Event: JAIN DHARMA : What’s the Elevator Pitch?
Venue: Sayer Centre, Oxgate Lane, Cricklewood NW2 7JN
Date: Sunday 2nd August 2009
Time: 10am - 4pm

At school, university, the work place and beyond, we often meet people who have never even heard of Jainism. When Jainism comes up in conversation, people are almost always thoroughly interested and inquisitive, often intelligently speculating aspects of the religion which we may never have.

We may be the only Jains these people ever meet and therefore should understand Jain Dharma to confidently and accurately explain and present this ancient religion.

This Jain Dharma session will seek to equip us with answers to questions the Jain community and wider society may ask us in order to represent the philosophy, logical beauty and spirituality of Jain Dharma.

For more information, email priya@youngjains.org.uk.  You can also RSVP on Facebook.

Give your input in the comments area below and let us know what you’d say if asked to explain what Jainism is.

  • jyoti shah: Fun analogies and asscociation-a good tool to teach childeren
  • Suraj: Jyotiben Jai Jinendra The way that I had written the above post, it may appear that the song trivialises the tattvas - this was not my intention
  • jyoti shah: ashrav samvar nijra is very well explained in samysar in kund kun acharya,by kanji swami,by bahenshree etc. Why complicate it with your own explanatio
