Cíle předmětu
Buddhism has played a significant role in the historical and cultural interrelations of the Central Asian peoples. Yet, scholarship on Central Asian Buddhism remains somewhat terra incognita for non-specialist Buddhologists and general readers. In terms of geography the course is designed to cover “Serindia” (a term coined by Aurel Stein); and, historically-chronologically, from the early Middle Ages to the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In its first part the course offers an introduction to the history of the expansion of Buddhism in "Serindia" and along the Silk Roads. Then it explores the long and complex historical process that shaped the Turkic-Uyghur Buddhism and its literature. Finally, the political, social and cultural developments in Central Asia will be discussed and analyzed, which, from the 13th century onwards, were to an increasing degree influenced by contacts between Tibetans, Mongols, Uyghurs and Chinese.
