WHY JAINISN AND BUDDHISM ARE THE SAME ? 299
“Those who cause me pain and those who cause me pleasure, towards all of them I behave in the same way; affection and hate I know not, in joy and sorrow, I remain unmoved : in honour and dishonour, . every. where I am the same. This is the perfection of my equanimity." (Charujâ pitaka III 15).
The Jain saint is required to endure twenty-two sufferings as is said in Tattvärtha sutra :
मार्गाच्यावन निर्जरार्थ पषिषोढव्याः परीषहाः ॥ ८-९॥
