Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Content: This is a course for students who already have basic knowledge of Classical Tibetan. The aim is now, on one hand, to consolidate and expand this knowledge of Tibetan by reading relatively simple texts from the bsTan ’gyur, and, on the other hand, to acquire a first knowledge of the logical theories of the Buddhist Epistemological Tradition, theories not unimportant in Indian as well as in Tibetan scholastic literature.
method: selected readings of the Tibetan translations (from the Sanskrit) of Śaṅkarasvāmin‘s Nyāyapraveśa / Tshad ma rigs par ’jug pa’i sgo and Dharmakīrti’s Nyāyabindu / Rigs pa’i thig pa.
requirements: basic knowledge of Classical Tibetan
aim: improvement of knowledge of Classical Tibetan, acquiring basic knowledge of the form and the terminology of the Epistemological Tradition of Buddhism.
Texts will be put on Moodle.
