PROLOGUE
Story is a very impressive way of presenting literature which is most attractive to kids, youths, as well as the older generation. Its special purpose is that it approaches the reader's mind and heart with utter simplicity. Even the most difficult and serious subjects may be conveyed through this media with ease. We have a treasure of interesting as well as inspiring stories in Jain Agamas (scriptures).
Acharya Shri Tulsi wants the people settled abroad and specially the young generation to have a soild base of Jain culture and philosophy.
Sadhvi Vishrut Vibha, disciple of Acharya Shri Tulsi, has written some selected historical and canonical stories in English. "Journey into Jainism" is her first attempt. I trust, Jains and others interested living abroad as well as in India should be able to grasp the doctrines of Jainism through this book and thereby encourage the authoress to proceed further in her attempt with greater enthusiasm.
