<p>Die Vortragsreihe ist ein Einstieg in ein in den Sozial- und Neurowissenschaften intensiv diskutiertes, in den religionsbezogenen Wissenschaften hingegen noch weitgehend brach liegendes Forschungsfeld. Gegenstand ist die Frage nach den Konzepten von Emotion in den Religionen Śivaismus (Hinduismus), Buddhismus und Jainismus. Ziel ist es, in den Vorträgen einen Einblick in die religiös-kulturelle Verschiedenheit von Vorstellungen über Emotion zu geben, nicht nur im Hinblick auf deren Stellung in den einzelnen Traditionen, sondern auch im Hinblick auf deren Bedeutung für die Gestaltung religiöser Kommunikation.</p>

<p>It is the aim of the lecture series not only to document how tantric concepts found expression in the Śaiva, Buddhist and Vaiṣṇava traditions, but to explore how they influenced each other and shed light on inter-religious communication. Focusing on the ways in which transfer of ideas and practices between Śaivism, Buddhism, and Vaiṣṇavism took place, we hope that we will be able to introduce the tantric traditions as among the most complex, challenging and influencial forms of South Asian religion to a broader audience inside and outside the university.</p>
<p>Die Vortragsreihe ist ein Einstieg in ein weitgehend unbearbeitetes Forschungsfeld. Gegenstand der Vorträge ist die Frage nach der Ausprägung religiösen Austauschs im Bereich der esoterischen (tantrischen) Konzepte des Hinduismus (Śivaismus, Viṣṇuismus) und Buddhismus. Ziel ist es, in den Vorträgen ein Spektrum von Aspekten zu behandeln, das Fragen der Variabilität und Gestaltung interreligiöser Kommunikation der tantrischen Modelle anspricht.</p>

The second public presentation, scheduled for the workshop’s closing session, was given by Péter-Dániel Szántó, and discussed various aspects of the Catuṣpīṭhatantra.</p>
