Which among the following is not a similar teaching preached by both J...
Rejection of Authority of Vedas, Nontheism, Emphasis on Renunciation are the similar teachings preached by both Jainism and Buddhist philosophy.
Rejection of Authority of Vedas:
Both Jainism and Buddhist philosophy reject the authority of Vedas. They do not believe in the ritualistic practices mentioned in Vedas and instead focus on the individual's own spiritual journey.
Nontheism:
Both Jainism and Buddhist philosophy do not believe in the existence of a supreme creator or God. They emphasize the concept of karma and that one's actions determine their fate.
Emphasis on Renunciation:
Both Jainism and Buddhist philosophy emphasize the importance of renunciation and detachment from material possessions. They believe that true happiness and liberation can be achieved by freeing oneself from the cycle of birth and death.
Absolute Nonviolence:
While both Jainism and Buddhist philosophy emphasize nonviolence, Jainism takes it to an extreme level with the concept of ahimsa. In Jainism, even the smallest living beings have a soul and therefore, causing harm to any living being is considered a sin. Buddhist philosophy, on the other hand, emphasizes nonviolence but does not take it to the same extreme level as Jainism.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D - Absolute Nonviolence, as it is a concept that is emphasized more strongly in Jainism than in Buddhist philosophy.
