| Zusammenfassung: | Indian tantric Buddhism spread throughout Asia during the second half of the first millennium of our era following the preceding Indian Buddhist trends. It has an essential place, often unrecognised, among the foundations of its religious cultures and traditions. Visible signs of this are representations of mandalas and bodhisattvas. It forms part of the current of the Great Vehicle, within which it offers spiritual practices that are paradoxical given the origins of Buddhism. The churches owe it to themselves to engage with this field of research if they want to continue developing a better understanding of Asian cultures in terms of their roots, discover in them how God reveals in them his relation to human beings, and allow themselves to be transformed by this encounter. |
