    Information

    Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

    Buddhism is generally known as the dominant religion in Tibet. But Tibet is also home to the less known religious rites and beliefs, which have potential to explain a number of specific features of the Tibetan form of Buddhism. The aim of the course is to introduce religious traditions of Tibet from the period of Tibetan empire (650-850), monastic tradition of the Bon religion, and non-Buddhist ritual traditions, which are often coexisting with Buddhism. The topic of my ongoing research on leu ritual tradition from north-eastern Tibet will be also discussed. The topic will be presented in the form of lectures. Students will be familiarised with the main characteristics and features of the Tibetan non-Buddhist religions.
