Project:

TibSchol – The Dawn of Tibetan Buddhist Scholasticism (11th-13th c.)

The ERC-funded project TibSchol - The dawn of Tibetan Buddhist scholasticism (11th-13th c.) - will be the first wide-ranging exploration of the formative phase of the Tibetan Buddhist scholastic tradition. Its ground-breaking study of an exceptionally active period of Tibetan scholarly creativity will integrate Tibetan thinkers into world intellectual history and the global history of philosophy. This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 101001002). It is hosted at the Institute for the Cultural and Intellectual History of Asia of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Abstract

This article explores the historical dynamics between Radreng (Rwa sgreng) and Sangpu (Gsang phu) monasteries, focussing on the eleventh to the thirteenth century. It challenges the commonly held view that these two institutions belonged to a single tradition, known as the Kadam (Bka’ gdams). Furthermore, based on an examination of the earliest available sources, it argues that Sangpu’s promotion of scholasticism had an instrumental role in shaping not only the respective identities of the two monasteries, but also much of the Tibetan religious landscape from the late eleventh century onwards.
