  Jainism, one of the oldest religions in the world, offers a profound philosophical and spiritual framework that emphasizes non-violence, truth, and the quest for liberation. Rooted in ancient Indian traditions, Jainism has significantly influenced the cultural and ethical landscape of India and beyond. With a rich history that dates back over two millennia, Jain teachings focus on the importance of individual responsibility, ethical conduct, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. 
  At the heart of Jainism lies the principle of Ahimsa, or non-violence, which extends not only to humans but to all forms of life, reflecting a deep commitment to compassion and respect for nature. This principle is not merely a passive refrain from harm; it is an active dedication to fostering well-being and harmony in all aspects of life. Alongside Ahimsa, Jains practice Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (chastity), and Aparigraha (non-possessiveness), forming a comprehensive ethical code that guides their daily lives and spiritual aspirations. 
  Jainism also emphasizes the significance of self-discipline and self-realization as pathways to liberation (Moksha) from the cycle of birth and death (Samsara). The teachings of the Tirthankaras, spiritual teachers who have attained enlightenment, serve as guides for followers on their spiritual journey. These enlightened beings exemplify the ideal virtues of Jain philosophy and provide practical insights for navigating the complexities of life.

  After Stoicism - Last Words of...

  The Stoic philosophers of antiquity recognized something we often forget. Good fortune does not guarantee happiness, and bad fortune does not guarantee misery. Boethius was the last philosopher of ancient Rome and a Christian theologian. He was also an illustrious senator who suffered a spectacular reversal of fortune. Falsely accused of treason and sentenced to death, he spent several months in prison awaiting his execution. For consolation he turned to the Stoics he had spent his life studying. They helped him to remember that the good things he once enjoyed—wealth, power, fame—could not make him truly happy. Also, that the injustice he suffered need not make him miserable. But the Stoics were not the only philosophers Boethius sought for consolation. The Stoics had taught that the highest happiness we can hope for is tranquility—serene indifference despite all the trials of life. But for Boethius, tranquility was not enough. He reached for something beyond Stoicism. Something that promised true happiness, come what may. This book is a guide through Boethius’s The Consolation of Philosophy. It shows how Boethius, in his darkest hour, took everything noble from Stoicism and fused it with a rational and religious conviction that there is a hope for happiness through and beyond the suffering of this life.
