A Comprehensive Study of the Sramana Concept; its origin and development -- a comparative study of Buddhism and Jainism--

古印度的宗教修行者属于婆罗门或沙门。虽然有很多关于婆罗门的研究。萨曼文化几乎没有被调查过。同样。人们可以研究佛教，但几乎没有研究耆那教。对萨曼文化的研究对于了解印度思想的全貌是不可或缺的。今年，我们收集了研究项目所需的书籍，并组织了几次关于耆那教起源和发展的研究会议。在这些会议中，每位成员报告他对耆那教正典文学的语言和哲学的研究。合作研究的主题是研究萨摩文化的背景，或者用文化历史的方法来研究他们的文化，对佛教和耆那教进行比较研究，研究这些宗教的共同或不同之处，以及对萨摩思想的独特特征进行调查。我们也在研究它对印度艺术和其他印度哲学体系的影响。因此，我们提出申请文化部出版资助，以出版我们的研究成果。

The religious practitioners in Old India belonged to the brahmanas or sramanas. Though many studies have appeared on the brahmanas. sramanic culture has hardly been investigated. Likewise. there one may studies on Buddhism but hardly any on Jainism. Research on sramanic culture is indispensable or getting an entire picture of Indian thought. This year we have collected the books necessary for our research project, and organazed several research meetings on the origin and development of Jainism. During these meetings earch member reports on his research on the language and philosophy of Jaina Canonical literature. Co-operative research themes deal on the background of sramanic culture, or cultural historical approach to their culture a comparative study of Buddhism and Jainism investigating the characteristies which these religions have in common or in which they differ, and an investigation of the unique features of sramanic thought. We are also working on its influence on Indian Art and on other Indian philosophical systems. Therefore, we ofer to apply for Ministry of Culture's Publication Grant in order to publish the result of our research.
