REG 1234 Grossmont College Survival Instincts Discussion

 

I’m working on a English question and need guidance to help me study.

  1. please pick one of the following questions and post an answer
  2. How might someone put the principles of Ahimsa into practice in your own society? How would it affect a person’s behavior (Course Hero)?
  3. Jains maintain “that all living beings, from plants to animals to bacteria, have souls, and that, theoretically, all souls have the potential to attain nirvana” (Kathari).
      • Westerners, such as ourselves, think that only human beings have souls.
      • What do you think about this claim that every animal including bacteria have souls?
  4. Jains, when asked to describe Moksha, say that they cannot explain it, “for it is absolutely beyond all human sense experience, a condition of infinite bliss and complete knowledge. The liberated souls live in a timeless totality, yet retaining their individuality in a state which human comprehension cannot reach. These souls are free from the cycle of death and rebirth” (Jainism).
      • Jains are saying that they cannot know what Moksha is, yet they talk about Moksha as if they know what it is.
      • Do you think it is a reasonable claim to say anything about Moksha?
