Asian Perspectives On The Worlds Religions After September 11

About this book

In the more than one decade's time since September 11, 2001, one could argue that little headway has been made in moving toward a world with less fear of our mutual cultural and religious differences; certainly, armed conflicts involving religion and ideology rage unabated. Could an Asian perspective help us in a post-September 11 world? Are the teachings of the religion of Jainism, an Indian religion over two millennia old, still relevant today? This book offers a unique perspective on September 11 and our world after this tragic event, sharing lessons from an Asian religious experience that can help heal a world troubled by religious conflicts and deepening divisions, and promote a positive global transformation.
