THE JAIN PATH.
OR
THE PATH OF THE CONQUEROR.
INTRODUCTION. The contents of this book are based on the teachings of the Jaina Saint, Shri Kunda Kunda Acharya, Teacher Philosopher, who lived in the Light of the Truth, and out of a heart of.compassion, has given his writings to the world.
Shri Kunda. Kunda lived in the first century B. C.
"Samayasara"-Sell Absorption or Self Realisation, is a creasury indeed and is a marvellous treatise on the Keal and Practical Aspects of the Soul. In this monumental work he translates the language of Reality into the language of practice, which alone can be grasped by non-Aryan students. In this little work I attempt to express my thoughts on the "Samayasara".
I do so with great thankfulness to Shri Kunda Kunda, and to the gifted translatur, our risen Brother J. L. Jaini. This little work is merely intended as an introduction to the Jarger and more abstruse teachings by that Brother, who has done much to bring the teachings of Shri Kunda Kunda to the notice of modern students. These Brothers, being beyond the mortal, speak to those who are ready to tread the Path of Liberation.
I would also like to express my thanks to Mrs. Agnes Cheyne, Mr. Ajit Prasada, the Editor of "Jaina Gazette", and Mr. Kamta Prasad Jain, of the Mahavira Publications, Aliganj. for many kindnesses and encouragement in my studies and writings on the Jaina Teachings.
