Samstag | 09.00 Uhr | Workshop: Enacted Words of the Buddha: Buddhist Manuscripts as Mediums of Transcultural Interactions : As physical instantiations of Buddhist ideas and practices dispersed in space and time, manuscripts provide us with a unique lens through which to gain a glimpse of transcultural aspects of Buddhism, one of the most important cultural sources that justify speaking of something called “Asia” at all. Unlike a mirror, which passively reflects the object it represents, Buddhist manuscripts, by means of their materiality, take active part in the vibrant interactions between faith communities from different cultural backgrounds. These interactions were the rule rather than the exception throughout the history of Buddhism and have more often than not left traces in manuscripts produced and circulated by Buddhists in various religious contexts.
