Questions and answers on Jain dharma and philosophy, by topic.
Question and answer is an established form in the Jain tradition — the enquirer asks, and the answer is given from principle. Agamas such as the Bhagavati Sutra take exactly this shape, with an entire scripture built on the questions of Gautam Swami.
The questions collected here are those an ordinary enquirer raises — about conduct, doctrine, vows and daily practice. The answers are kept brief, and where traditions differ, that is recorded too.
