A brief analysis of God, Self, Karma and Rebirth in context of Buddhism and Jainism

Abstract

Buddhism and Jainism are the Nastika schools of Indian Philosophy. Both these schools do not believe in the authority of the veda. The concept of God, Self, Karma and Rebirth occupy important place in Buddhism and Jainism. But although both these philosophies interpret these concepts but they interpret these in their own different ways. The aim of this paper is to analyze the concepts of God, Self, Karma and Rebirth from the point of view of Buddhism and Jainism.
