Books by Dagmar Schwerk
The Sixty-ninth Chief Abbot of Bhutan Geshe Drapukpa Gendün Rinchen was one of the most influential Bhutanese Buddhist masters of the twentieth century. He significantly contributed as an author, scholar, teacher, and practitioner to doctrinal innovations and the modernization of religious, educational institutions of the Drukpa Kagyü school in Bhutan in the second half of the twentieth century. A Timely Message from the Cave also explores his life and vast literary and scholastic heritage based on classical Tibetan biographical and autobiographical accounts and his collected works in ten volumes.

Working Papers by Dagmar Schwerk
Companion to the Study of Secularity by Dagmar Schwerk
"The Companion to the Study of Secularity is a publication that is projected to grow over time. It consists of short articles in encyclopaedic form and style, which detail the specific concepts and peculiarities of secularity in the regions and eras our members are specialised in. In contrast to journal articles or articles in our Working Paper Series, the Companion’s entries are not intended to initiate detailed intradisciplinary discussion or to present new findings from research. Instead, they should provide the wider academic community with an insight into the concept of multiple secularities and thus foster transdisciplinary exchange.
The intent is that scholars interested in the concept of multiple secularities, who are not themselves specialists in particular (historical) regions, should be able to gain an insight into both the different regions where formations of secularity can be observed, and the main notions and concepts that the KFG’s members refer to. Over time, the Companion should grow to encompass all epochs and areas that have been worked on within the scope of the KFG. For as long as the KFG continues to exist, the Companion will be published and further expanded on the KFG’s website. Towards the end of the Multiple Secularities project, all entries will be systematised and edited in order to transform the Companion into a completed open access publication."
