wat is better jainism or buddhism?

Answer 1

Mahavira (Great Hero) lived around 570-490 BC and was a contemporary of the Buddha. He is considered the main prophet (Tirthankara) who founded Jainism in this era. Similar to Buddhism, Jainism teaches that their principles have been taught in the past by enlightened teachers, and will be taught again in the future.

The main principles of Jainism could be summarised as:
- Ahimsa: non-violence, a consequence of the belief in Karma
- Anekantvad: multiple views points
- Apirigraham: avoidance of material possessions
- Satya: the renunciation of secular life.

There are many similarities between Jain and Buddhist philosophy, like a belief in karma, detachment, meditation and relativity (realisation that there is always more than one viewpoint). Also less obvious aspects appear similar, for example the similarity of the cosmology in the Kalachakra Tantra). Often, it is not even easy to distinguish between an ancient depiction of the Mahavira and the Buddha, as they are both usually depicted in a similar meditation posture. The most obvious difference is the fact that the Jain saints are naked.

Jainism teaches, that once the person has applied the three principles of detachment, karma and relativity, he or she can experience and share Maitri which is pure love, understanding and compassion for all beings (an extremely important aspect of Mahayana Buddhism). Moreover, as described in the jainsamaj webpage:

"In the Buddhist scripture Majjima Nikaya, Buddha himself tells us about his ascetic life and its ordinances which are in conformity with the Jain monks code of conduct. He says, "Thus far, Sari Putta did I go in my penance. I went without clothes. I licked my food from my hands. I took no food that was brought or meant especially for me. I accepted no invitation to a meal." Mrs. Rhys Davis has observed that Buddha found his two teachers Alara and Uddaka at Vaisali and started his religious life as a Jaina."

Answer 2

Neither is necessarily better, and as one pointed out, they're far from incompatible--Buddhism is actually quite compatible with nearly any religion, and Jainism is a better fit with it than most due to their concern for life (though their beliefs on the spirit world are rather different from Buddhists).

I would say Buddhism is more flexible and accessible, while Jains tend to be on the front lines of action to protect life. Solid plusses for both there.

Answer 3

Unsaturated fat (Vegetable oils) are liquid at room temperature, which makes it extra basic to flow interior the direction of the arteries and veins. Saturated fat are sturdy at room temperature. Trans fat are processed fat that have been as quickly as unsaturated. On a molecular point, Trans fat is the consequence of including hydrogen atoms to an unsaturated fat (hydrogenation). The hydrogens are bonded in a fashion this is risky for people. An occasion of this could be Squeezable butter this is made out of corn or sunflower oil(e.g. "i'm no longer able to have faith that's not Butter!").

Answer 4

Well, I think Buddhism is a little more comprehensive, from what I understand. But, are they technically incompatible? Roll with both.

Answer 5

Both

Answer 6

both aint good
