QUOTES & QUIPS
All traditions need to change to stay the same. Ninian Smart, Professor of World Religions
No religion of the world has explained the principle of ahimsa so deeply and systematically with its applicability in life as Jainism. Mahatma Gandhi
views, and distribute our joy freely, whether to friends or strangers. Reuben Thuku, Theosophical Society of Kenya
Every living being has a zest for life, and we must respect this in all our thoughts and actions. Lord Mahavir
Whereas religion usually looks for an opening to the eternal and infinite science hopes for closure and places its faith in the capacity of the mind to sew things up. It prefers finity over infinity. The result is a world where the ego is at home and consciousness a supreme goal. Thomas Moore, Professor of Consciousness
A true professional does not look up but looks down. Looking up there is only competition and aggression, but looking down, there is an opportunity to serve and help others. Shashikant Mehta, Rajkot, India
The Jains maintain a balance between giving and taking. Throughout the community. I see a constant inclination to giving, a selflessness that is unique. The world needs such individuals and communities more urgently than ever before. Michael Tobias, Author of Life Force: The World of Jainism
Jainism is the most powerful and profound philosophy in the world. Jains have to feel proud of their beliefs and practice them in a positive manner which eliminates suffering Maneka Gandhi, Cabinet Minister, India
I think it is a central misconception of the Jain tradition to say that it is concerned with the salvation of the individual in a selfish manner. Every Jain must strive for the highest code of conduct, the highest code of restraint and the highest contribution he or she can make for the preservation of others. There is hardly any tradition which is more selfless. L.M.Singhvi, Global ambassador of Jainism
Thinking or doing harm to another living being is to harm oneself. There is no separation between us and them in Jainism. Padmanabh Jaini, Professor of Religion, University of California, Berkeley
Every being in the universe is important, unique and useful. Thus we should be tolerant and adaptable to other people's

Jainism is a religion waiting to be reborn. The likelihood though is that its rebirth will take place in the West rather than the East. Jainism has always been ahead of itself. Cromwell Crawford, University of Hawaii
