Answer 2

Answer:

1.

• Life after Death
• Both religions believe in reincarnation, which is the rebirth of the soul in a new body after the death of the previous body. They also believe the soul can eventually, through enlightenment, exist in a permanent state of paradise. They also don't believe in a hell or a final judgment of the soul.
• Karma
• Both religions believe in the concept of karma, which is an attachment of positive and negative forces to the soul based on a person's actions, beliefs, and spiritual attachments. Reincarnation carries this force forward and requires effort to purify the soul. A soul cannot attain enlightenment or reach paradise with negative karma weighing them down.
• Enlightenment Both Jainism and at least some prominent forms of Buddhism believe a person can reach enlightenment during a single lifetime, but also that people must abandon the suffering caused by desires. They do horrible things to get what they want, but they also suffer when they want something they cannot have.

2.Brahmacharya

It is a specific period of education for all young persons before they can grow independent to work for life.He gets this education from teachers (gurus). During this period of education, he has to follow some ideals and live in a specific environ­ment. In the ancient past, schools were boarding schools where a child was admitted at the age of 8-12 years, after following certain ceremonies and imparted knowledge, skills and crafts, general and physical education, and training in logic.

Garhasthya Ashram:

This period of life covers an active period of ef­fective membership of society and covers 25 years of life after the first 25 years of education. This is householder’s life, a married life. The ideal marriage was considered one which was performed for moksha or final liberation and intellectual companionship through the performance of household duties, including upbringing of children and offering reverence (shradha) to ancestors.

Vanaprastha Ashram:

After the responsibilities to children are over, the parents are expected to take to social welfare work, so that they do not remain entrapped in moha (attachment). The idea is not to retire to forests and live in a place away from human habitation but to live in vil­lages, away from thickly populated cities. Thus, the idea of third stage is to develop a new level of interest and action and not merely a retirement into a particular place.

Sanyasa Ashram:

Sanyasa is the final stage in life’s growth. It differs from the vanaprastha stage in two respects—in the development of interests and in the development of motivation. While the dominant interest in grahasthya stage is the family, in vanaprastha stage it is human society as a whole, in sanyasa stage, the interest is the Universe with its universal con­sciousness. Interest in the universal consciousness is identification with total existence in its deepest being.
