JAINISM
Jainism Faith Statement on Ecology 2003 http://www.arcworld.org/faiths.asp?pageID=82
Prepared on behalf of the Institute of Jainology by Dr L. M. Singhvi, President of the Jain Institute, the main body bringing together the three distinct traditions of the Jains. From the book, Faith in Conservation, by Martin Palmer with Victoria Finlay, published by the World Bank in 2003.
"Jainism is fundamentally a religion of ecology and has turned ecology into a religion. It has enabled
Jains to create an environment-friendly value system and code of
conduct."
Given this, why is ecology not stressed more in the Pathshala curriculum in our temples?
