8) The History of Vegetarianism and Cow-Veneration in India

The Indian religion of Jainism, whose central tenet involves non-violence to all creatures, is one of the world's oldest and least-understood faiths. Dundas looks at Jainism in its social and doctrinal context, explaining its history, sects, scriptures and ritual, and describing how the Jains have, over 2500 years, defined themselves as a unique religious community. This revised and expanded edition takes account of new research into Jainism.

14) Zen: The Religion of the Samurai: A Study of Zen Philosophy and Discipline in China and Japan

"Jainism is arguably the most non-violent and austere religion in the world. While lay Jains attempt to never harm humans or animals, the strict non-violence followed by the highly revered monks and nuns also proscribes harm to any living being, even a microscopic organism. And while laywomen (and a few laymen) undergo long and difficult fasts, the longest being for one month, renouncers' austerities also include pulling their hair out by the roots...

Itinerant white-robed ascetics represent the highest ethical ideal among the Jains of rural Rajasthan. They renounce family, belongings, and desires in order to lead lives of complete non-violence. In their communities, Jain ascetics play key roles as teachers and exemplars of the truth; they are embodiments of the lokottar - the realm of the transcendent. Based on thirteen months of fieldwork in the town of Ladnun, Rajasthan, India, among a community...

Initiation rituals are spectacular, with the power to change who you are. In Papua New Guinea, boys endure brutal skin cutting to become men. In India, a girl gives up her family and has all her hair plucked out in her initiation as a Jain nun. In Senegal, a wrestler hopes ancient rituals will bring success as he tries to enter the sport's big league. And in Taiwan, recruits must complete ten gruelling exercises over rocks in the 'Road to Heaven',...
