Author : Ven. Neyadhamma and C. Baland |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Moksha in Jainism differs from Nibbâna in Buddhism. Jainism, holding soul theory, expounds Moksha while Buddhism, rejecting the existence of soul, expounds Nibbâna. Moksha in Jainism is the liberation of soul from karmic bondage while Nibbana in Buddhism is the liberation of suffering. Moksha in Jainism exists in another world while Nibbâna in Buddhism exists neither in this world nor in the other world, nor between them. Moksha in Jainism is to be attained after death while Nibbâna in Buddhism is to be attained in this very life. Moksha in Jainism is to be attained by cutting off karmic bondage while Nibbâna in Buddhism is to be attained by eradicating mental defilements through attainment of Noble Path. Moksha in Jainism is a place where liberated soul remains forever. Nibbâna in Buddhism, however, is where there none of conditioned things remains. |
