Kellogg Leadership Conference Peer Comments
| We need to take Jainism outside of the closed domains. Educate the world and bring it on the same platform as other philosophies and civilizations |
| Important goals, great leadership, strong vision on the right track |
| Absolute must. It will be important however for increases visibility that participation, happens at a more distributed level |
| Good, tricky concept |
| I am not sure globalization but harmonization finding and creating Jains to dialogue and connect before |
| Needed to think more detail, how, when, what? |
| Have local buy-in first. Global could come later |
| Proactively connect with all youth Jain groups |
| Need to do this, all JWOL leaders, national must come too |
| Demonstration of JWOL; Communication of core values and demonstration of JWOL for executive membership |
| Unites all Jains under one purpose, non-sectarian; Difficult to appeal to everyone due to generational gaps, focus more on ages 39 and below |
| NEED is there; execution is challenging |
| Excellent idea; Recruit Jain youth from high-schools and colleges |
| Uniformity is the key to expansion; Getting all Jain Centers to agree to it? |
| All Jains playing the same tune |
| |
| Pushes Jainism to 21st century - Modernize |
| Good project to pursue; do not let JWOL become simple but compromised product, JWOL continues to be defined and redefined for even more other Jain values, etc. |
| |
| One world, one community; Diverse cultural circumstances |
| Yes, Indian Jains need to hear and adapt non-sectarian JWOL; Try to involve leaders of other Jain sangh in India by debate. Avoiding them will not work in long run. They can exist and focus on rituals but YJI can focus on the living aspect. |
