Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The systematic presentation of the Buddhist tenets penned by the well known bKa´ gdams pa scholar dBus pa Blo gsal allows us to gain an insight into the formation of the definite Madhyamaka point of view in the Buddhist mainstream of the 14 century. It thus provides a basis for the research into the history of ideas of a period still characterised by an open disussion between the exponents of the various traditions. We will read selected passages of a relatively straightforward text ideally suited for a first encounter with Tibetan Madhyamaka. For the edition of the Tibetan text s. Mimaki 1982:138-251. The original blockprint is reproduced in the appendix. The Madhyamaka section starts on fol. 96a6.
