________________ (Personal Perspective - Priya Sheth - continued from previous page) Temple has also let me participate in Pooja's, Samayik, and Pratikraman. Shibirs and other activities at the Jain Center have also motivated me and allowed me to learn about religion. After having gone to temple I have learned and understood why I should not use animal products. I have stopped using silk, leather, animal tested products, or anything else which causes harm to animals. I know why I should not eat potatoes and onions but I have not yet stopped. Hopefully in the future I will be able to stop. My Gujarati and Dharam classes in particular have helped me greatly when I go to India and also in daily life situations. In Dharam class, we discuss everyday life topics and their relation to Jainism. Gujarati class was also beneficial to me, especially when I went to India. It feels good to be able to talk with family there with a common language. When I learn more Gujarati, I will be able to understand Jain books written in Gujarati and this will be advantageous to me. Going to Jain temple has made me the person I am today. Many of Jain religious principles and teachings are now part of my daily life. Jain Center has opened my eyes to the vastness of Jainism and its' many topics. I am glad to be a Jain and I am looking forward to attending Jain Center regularly in the future. I am fascinated by the principles of Jainism which stands for everything that is right faith, knowledge and conduct. - Siddharth Dangi (9) Jain Education Intemational For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
