Description: 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.
