Sramanismとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Sramanism is one of the three main families of ancient Indian philosophy. With its root in the Sanskrit 'Sramana' (literally- 'the one who strives'), its etymological origination also captures its core characteristic - the stress such systems place on 'practice' -usually involving hard-to-carry-out penitances. Restated, all philosophies under this family state that knowledge/happiness/freedom is possible through human efforts, not always of an 'intellectual' nature.
