BOOK RELEASE: SALLEKHANA - THE JAIN APPROACH TO DIGNIFIED DEATH
A book edited by Shugan Chand Jain & Christopher Key Chapple entitled “Sallekhana - The Jain Approach to Dignified Death”.
This book arose from contemporary concerns regarding the end of life. Death is an inevitable fact of life. Jain preceptors have offered a system of fasting that makes the time before death an auspicious and pleasant experience, known as Sallekhana, Samadhimarana or Santhara. This practice had been observed ever since Jainism was propagated the founding tirthankaras. More than fifty-six papers were presented in these seminars by forty-four Indian and twelve foreign scholars. This book contains twelve papers that provides a comprehensive discussion on the subject. The book also includes a brief overview of other papers presented in the three seminars.
