The closely-related ancient traditions of Buddhism and Jainism are among humanity’s oldest and richest sources of philosophical, spiritual, moral, and humanitarian knowledge. But long before the creation of formalized religions, informal manifestations existed in the form of culture. Evolved and refined over many centuries, these humanistic spiritual cultures have preserved the world’s oldest and most extensive understandings of meditation, karmic theory, and nonviolence (ahimsa)

Through the fusion of extensive historical, spiritual, and multi-disciplinary research, this in-depth collection presents the genuine lineages of rare knowledge at the heart of these cultures—in an artistic, well-organized volume.

Chapter subtopics include: Direct and Indirect Knowledge • Soul and Matter • Equanimity • Breath Awareness (Meditation) • No-Karma (Non-action) • Karmic Purification • Karma As Matter (Karman) • Reincarnation
• The Six Types of Nonviolence • The Five Types of Beings • 12 Points of Practical Conduct • Food, Karma, and Energy • Mental Conduct • Health and Bodily Care • Modern Applications of Ancient Principles, and more.
