| Annotation: | Tobias asserts that the inner soul of Jainism is its strict adherence to ahimsa (nonviolence) and connects this notion to Jain conceptualizations of vegetarianism and reverence for nature. Tobias concludes by emphasizing that for both lay and monastic communities, Jain ecology is grounded in the practice of meditation and self-restraint. |
