प्रश्न
Give your personal response.
Jainism and Buddhism provided hope to all people.
उत्तर
- In the Later Vedic period, the caste system and Brahminic supremacy became entrenched. Caste groups became rigid with the passage of time.
- The varna system now turned into an oppressive Jati (caste) system. In all this, women became doubly oppressed. Jainism and Buddhism are perceived as "protest religions".
- Both these religious traditions opened their doors to all sections of society. The right to salvation was no longer limited to a particular stratum of society.
- Understandably, Buddhism with its fewer rigid rules and regulations in comparison to Jainism was embraced by many.
- Gautama Buddha permitted women to join his monastic community and to fully participate in it.
- Buddhist doctrines do not differentiate between women and men, since everyone, regardless of gender, status, or age, is subject to old age, illness, and mortality, thus suffering applies to all.
- Several Jain nuns have played a very active part in the abolition of sati practice, the abolition of slavery of women, and the prohibition of animal sacrifices.
- Jainism, being a religion of religious equality, is devoted to recognising the rights of all living creatures. Because of this, Jainism and Buddhism brought hope to the people.
