TO SEE, TO KNOW, TO REALIZE
IV JAin? Hoe
Why should we practice Jainism? This convention will provide the youth
the ability to answer this question for themselves. The convention will take the participant one step further in the direction of incorporating the philosophical
tenets of Jainism into our everyday lives. The theme helps break down this process: To See - introduce events that occur in our daily lives; To Know - learn what Jainism says about these events; To Realize - apply what we see with what we learned into our daily reality.
Learn About Your Interests
Geared to stimulate your interests, select from a variety of sessions that fall under a newly designed track system focused on a general topic and specific to your age group. Each attendee can choose from several tracks that underlie the goal: To See, To Know, To Realize.
