Although the seminar is not a reading class, since the tantric traditions are comparatively little explored, we will read selected readings in translation in addition to various academic contributions.
In the seminar, as the complexity of the topic does not allow otherwise, we will mainly deal with some basics and central concepts as they can be observed in early and middle Indian Buddhism and roughly devote ourselves to the following topics:
1. development and influences
2. philosophy, methods, terms, soteriology
3. literature and systems
4. siddhas, the authors
