Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this introductory course we get to know the Indian and Tibetan idioms of the Buddhist yoginītantras, also called “mother tantras” (Tib. Ma rgyud) in Tibetan Buddhism. For this purpose, we will primarily read the Hevajratantra written in the 10th century in its Indian original and compare it with its Tibetan translation. On this basis, the essential basic knowledge of the content of this literary genre is conveyed against the background of philological, cultural-historical issues. The latter happens above all with regard to the Indo-Tibetan history of the reception of the Hevajratantra, which plays an important role in the Dohā commentaries by Saraha (10th century), the works of Maitrīpa (986-1063), and thus the bKa'brgyud schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
