Welcome to the Jainism Conference Site!

The ancient teachings of Vardhamana Mahavira, and in particular two of its core elements - the principle of Ahimsa (Non-violence) and the philosophy of
Anekanta (Non-absolutism) - appear to have an extra-ordinary timeliness as well as great practical significance at the dawn of the twenty-first century. In this conference an international group of scholars and practitioners will share their research and insights on the teachings of Mahavira and Jainism, and approaches to education about Jainism.
