If you study both the religions, they are quite similar.<br /><br />There is 1 primary difference - Jainism differentiates between life based on the number of senses. That is human beings have 5 senses & therefore the value of a human life is more than a plant which has only 1 sense. Therefore, killing a plant an animal, an insect and a human is different in its degree of violence & pain.<br /><br />While Buddhism believes that a life is a life irrespective of the senses. Therefore, Buddhism does not differentiate between an animal & a plant since both are 1 life. Therefore, over a period of time, with dilution, modern day buddhist followers in the far east have become non-vegetarians.<br /><br />The Buddhists saints continue to be vegans. They not only avoid non-veg food but avoid even milk products since it is an animal output & that it is typically for the offspring of the cow, buffalo, etc. While Jainism believes that there is no harm in milk products as there is no violence & the animal produces much more milk than the offspring requires.<br /><br />It is on interpretation issues that both religions became separate.<br /><br />The main centre of Buddhism is in Bihar which was established around the same time when Samat Shikhar also in Bihar saw 20 Jain Tirthankars achieve Moksh.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051489691004046481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466494698667372560.post-79589542641845650072013-05-22T00:18:34.304-07:002013-05-22T00:18:34.304-07:00When there is a war hundred and thousands of soldi...When there is a war hundred and thousands of soldiers as well as civilians get killed. Naturally the dead bodies would get buried. It is difficult to substantiate that the skulls discovered belonged to the Samanas or Monks alone.P.N.
