Leaf from a Jain Manuscript: Kalpa-sutra: The Monk Gautama, Enthroned (recto), 1279
Leaf from a Jain Manuscript: Kalpa-sutra: The Monk Gautama, Enthroned (recto), 1279. The text on this rare, early manuscript page tells of the birth of Mahavira, but the painting is that of a monk, seated in the yogic posture of meditation and making the gesture of recitation and discourse with his right hand. He wears a white robe, and lying over his shoulders is a broom that he would use to sweep the ground before him as he walks, to ensure he does not inadvertently harm a tiny creature. Strict adherence to nonviolence is a major tenet of the Jain religion

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a leaf from a Jain Manuscript titled "Kalpa-sutra: The Monk Gautama, Enthroned" dating back to 1279. The manuscript page bears an ancient text narrating the birth of Mahavira, while the painting itself depicts a serene monk seated in the yogic posture of meditation. With his right hand gesturing in recitation and discourse, this enlightened figure exudes tranquility and wisdom. The monk is adorned in a pristine white robe, symbolizing purity and simplicity. Draped over his shoulders rests a broom, serving as a poignant reminder of his commitment to nonviolence. This humble instrument is used by him to gently sweep the ground before every step he takes, ensuring that no harm befalls even the tiniest creature on his path. The adherence to nonviolence stands as one of the fundamental principles within Jainism—a religion deeply rooted in compassion and respect for all living beings. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported into an era where spirituality was intricately intertwined with daily life. Preserved meticulously through centuries, this rare manuscript page offers us glimpses into both religious teachings and artistic mastery. Its opaque watercolor and ink strokes on palm leaf bear testament to the rich cultural heritage of Western India. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this exquisite piece invites contemplation on our own actions towards others—encouraging us to embrace kindness and mindfulness in our interactions with all sentient beings.
