Jai Jinendra.
The Jain Studies Program at FIU welcomes you to the inauguration of the Online Lecture Series on Jain Texts
9th May to 6th June (Saturdays) @ 12 noon CST
This program is launched to enrich textual studies in Jainism and nurture the study of ancient languages like Sanskrit, Prakrit, Apabraṃsa and other Indic languages. This will promote, rejuvenate and invigorate scholarship and research on primary sources. Scholars will present their research on a chosen Jain text through interactive video conferencing.
The text chosen for this year is the Ācārāṅga Sūtra. We welcome you to the inauguration of the program with an introductory lecture on the text, followed by a series of four lectures. Each lecture will be approximately 50 to 60 minutes with a discussion session to follow. The video conference is open to all.
9th May @ 12 noon CST- Prof. Nalini Balbir inaugurates the lecture series. Ven. Samani Chaitanya Pragyaji (JVBI) presents on the Concept of Violence and Nonviolence in Ācārāṅga Sūtra. Outline of the lecture: http://jainstudies.fiu.edu/news/2015/violence-and-nonviolence/
