The Tirthankar sits on a soft cushion while he speaks, and music is played. Most Jains believe that he would speak so that all human s and animal s can understand the language, and his voice would be so pleasant that it would literally sound melodious. Jain scriptures say that all creatures who listen would become Ahimsa less violent and Aparigraha greedy . All creatures, especially Jain monasticism monastics , would be encouraged to come to the event, no matter how far they are. Hall Jain doctrine states that there would be four tiers in the circular hall where the Samavasarana would be held. The first and highest would be for the Tirthankara and his Ganadhara s, or disciples. It would have a cushion that is shaded by a tree twelve times the height of the Tirthankara. The second tier would be for humans, and the third for animals. The fourth would be an area to park the vehicle s and modes of transportation in which the visitors would arrive. According to Jainism, there would be gates on all sides of the hall. The total size of the hall would be 12 km and the area on which it sits would have been cleaned and leveled pneumatically. ref http www.jainworld.com JWFrench jainworld jainbooks tirthankar apendex 14.htm APPENDIX 14 Bot generated title ref References References External links http www.theosophy nw.org theosnw world asia as rudi2.htm Article with ... more details
