Re: Re: [Buddha-l] Re: Natural lucidity for SocratesHi Lance,

The Ajivikas are another candidate, but while I've never heard of Ajivika missionaries or settlements in Central Asia or further west, such was the case for Jains. Also, when one examines the details of the versions of such practices adopted by the Manichaeans, they have an distinctively Jain flavor. Similarly, the "light" etc. imagery in the account accords well with Jaina sarvaj~naa theories, with the jiiva liberated from its karmic, bodily bonds floating aloft into the universe.
