Summary

Introduction

A. Jain tantra: stating the problem Orientalistica. Все вышеперечисленные факторы определяют своеобразие тантры и ее выделенное место как в буддизме, так и в индуизме. В статьях и монографиях, посвященных тантре, ученые часто упоминают и такое явление, как «джайнская тантра» / «джайнский тантризм», однако никто из специалистов по тантризму не берет на себя смелость дать какую-то (хотя бы общую) характеристику этого явления или указать на отличительные особенности тантры в джайнизме.
