Jain Philosophy with Landmark Education Methodology
In a world where we are constantly impacted by the actions of other people, how does one become fully responsible for one's own life and one's community? The first part of this interactive event allows people to address these by inventing a new possibility in an area of life that's important to them, regardless of the circumstances. First we take an honest look at an area that's important to you then we create what's missing the presence of which would make a difference.
The second half of this event gives specific information about Landmark Education and how it's unique transformational methodologies can make a positive and permanent difference, unfolding a future where Jainism is fully alive and real in your life.

Samaysar
Samaysar is the scripture written by Acharya Kundkund Swamiji in about first century. It is the scripture about the core philosophy of the soul narrated in nine chapter and with total 415 stanzas. There are following chapters in the scriptures. 1. Jiv ajiv adhikar, 2. Karta karma adhikar,3.punya pap adhikar, 4. Asrav adhikaar, 5. Sanvar adhikar, 6. Nirjara adhikar, 7. Bandh adhikar, 8. Moksha adhikar and 9. Sarva vishuddha Gyan adhikar. In these nine chapters Kundkund swami keeps the pure nature of the soul in the center of discussion and from different angle the pure nature of the soul is brilliantly explained. When one comes to understand the true nature of the soul then the process of purifying the soul becomes somewhat simplified. Gurudev Shri Kanji swami in twentieth century gave discourses on Samaysar for nineteen times for forty five years and made it very simple for one to understand the scripture. The lecture will give general overview of the scripture.
