message: lonely planet India says both of these religions arise from Hinduism but react against the caste system.  it says Jainism is frank about this but Buddhism is not.  It's not much of an authority, but if this is true it would make an interesting addition here.--202.53.85.74 11:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm doing POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.  This permits discussion and consensus among editors.  This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved.  Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.Jjdon (talk) 16:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The introduction to this article is definitely too large. I'm not very good at restructuring articles, but if anybody's up to the task, perhaps they could move most of the details into other sections. --Qmwne235 21:41, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Sadhus are NOT jains!!!
The Jain community is composed of four sections: "sadhus, sadhvis"? why lie with such false claims?
Sadhus are hindus, not jains so please do not write such lies! shameful!!82.38.160.13 (talk) 22:16, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Calm down! Calling info which may be incorrect "lies" won't further any discussion, will it? A simple Google search gives c.22.000 hits, showing that the word sadhu is also being used within Jainism. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:04, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  WHAT TOTAL LIES IS THIS? 

message: In my opinion due to extreme similarity between jainism and Buddhism one must also read life of "pecca/previous buddhas" and "23 previous tirthankaras of jains". Buddha was initially follower of "223rd tirthankar Parasnath" tradition. Udaka Ramaputta was a Jain hermit saint, yogi, and a teacher of Gautama buddha.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udaka_Ramaputta
Gautama felt unsatisfied by the practise, and moved on . Buddhism is no doubt heavily influenced by Jainism, and much of the early Buddhist canon freely admits this. According to Pali cannon and Jain texts there are similarities in life of previous buddha and tirthankara.
Name of various Pakka/Previous Buddha may be different in Tibetan/chinese/Indo-Aryan language but they have some relation with Jainism. Pāli is a literary language of the Prakrit language family; it is not now (and never was) an informal, spoken language, in the sense of a mother tongue. Despite excellent scholarship on this problem, there is persistent confusion as to the inter-relation of to the vernacular spoken in the ancient kingdom of Magadha (now modern-day Bihār). below is a link to understand that language:

Hence I think one must not be surprised if someone finds that previous/pecca Buddha and Jain Tirthankars were same people.I do agree that Buddhas don't just belong to Buddhism, just like electricity does not belong to the white men. Kindly be neutral and allow similarity and comparison between jainism and buddhism freely and allow similarities to manifest itself. Both religions flourished in india and both have Aryan predecessors. So similarity is inevitable. Enjoy similarities just as we enjoy differences. Buddhas and Tirthankaras don't just belong to Buddhism/Jainism.
