Buddhist art is vast and varied, and its forms express devotion to the Path, the aspiration for awakening, and worldly desires. It is some of the most complex and sublime artistic expression in the world. For this reason, Buddhist art is found in the collections of prestigious museums around the world. It is also found at a number of World Heritage sites.
Join Dhammadipa for a workshop exploring one of the most esteemed collections of Buddhist art in the world - at the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art. The workshop will include a virtual tour of the location, detailed study of iconic Buddhist objects, and interactive sessions exploring the connection between what is depicted and our personal experiences of the Path.
*All virtual tours from 6:00 to 8:30 pm Eastern US time. Join using the meeting link on the homepage under the big black button that says “Join a Zoom meeting here.”
