Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: In this class, we will read the root text of the Mahayanasutrala?kara, one of the five Maitreya works, together with the Clear Light of the Sun (Nyi ’od gsal ba), a commentary on the text attributed to the Tibetan scholar Phywa-pa Chos-kyi seng-ge (1109–1169). The latter presents itself as a systematic juxtaposition of the interpretations of Parahitabhadra, Sajjana, rNgog Lo-tsa-ba and others, shedding light on the late Indian and early Tibetan commentarial traditions of the Maitreya works. Through reading the root text together with Phywa-pa’s commentary, the participants of this class will expand their knowledge of historical-philological methods and their application in the field of Tibetan and Buddhist studies. All materials will be provided in class and the accompanying Moodle course.
