| Annotation: | Granoff discusses Jain objections to Buddhist religious practices such as the self-sacrifice of bodhisattvas that are based on the Jain notion of ahimsa. Through a verse by verse study of the Sravakaprajnapti as interpreted by Haribhadra, she demonstrates how he views any attempt to create exceptions regarding sin as a complete undermining of the entire moral structure of the society. The text is directed against orthodox Hindus, samsaramocakas (those whose duty it was to kill any unhappy creature), and Buddhists. |
