Had The immense pleasure of visiting the Rubin Museum last year when in New York..... Wish i could join in the OM from California.....The Rubin Museum was an enchantment .... as a guest of Donald Rubin I was most appreciative and hope to come again soon.... OOOOMMMM!

I can’t wait to experience this event .

Amazing work of Faith and Empire , very unique research, the exhibition helps me to have general knowledge on the whole research in two hours. Wonderful work!

The Rubin museum is a true gem, a spiritual sanctuary of great cultural and culinary inspiration found in the heart of this never sleeping city. Thank you for welcoming us and “teleporting” us into the Himalayas without having to fly there.

thank you.

The Rubin is a museum that inspires and empowers. It is much more than just its beautiful artifacts and exhibits. It offers the opportunity to meditate and also to contemplate the rewards of living a mindful life, one filled with loving kindness towards oneself as well as others. I am truly grateful that this institution exists and it gives me the opportunity to cultivate a more spiritual and caring nature.

id love to be part of this

Our understanding of Tibet has been compartmentalised into various areas of scholarship, such as the study of art or religion. What this exhibition has boldly tried to do is to fit it in to its proper place in modern studies of world history, and where it fits into the development of the empires, kingdoms and peoples of Eurasia.

Looks interesting. Thanx

As thangka artist I'm so jealous of all the people that have the opportunit to admire these treasures. The thangka of Kurukulla is particularly interesting. Thank you for sharing and value these amazing masterpieces. Namaste.

Hi - The shrine room is nicely done. Excellent. Some of the objects that caught my eye and were not described were the three circular wheels, one on top of the other, the bell the vajra (featured in your Scorpian Mudra) Also there is the rectangle covered with yellow cloth. Are you going to add more description and options to learn about these objects, which I know are seminal to understanding what to do with the shrine? Again - magnificent job - thank you?

I visit city of New York few times a year. Every time I don’t miss to visit Ruben Museum for sheer bliss of being there, to contemplate on life at the Tibetan Shrine Room, to reconnect myself with my roots and to admire again the amazing exhibits there. Thank you RMA for this oasis of tranquility in the middle of NYC’s pulsating lifestyle. See you there soon.

I look forward to seeing this new exhibition- these artists seem to be responding to the craziness in our world and, if prior experience is validated, these pieces will feel like therapy in decreasing our sense of isolation and, perhaps, even increasing our optimism about the future.

I am looking forward in participating before Ma 8th.

I have been to the Rubin and it was wonderful.

I like to see Buddha relics on June 15

This amazing site is very thought provoking !! It beckons to man’s inner core that seeks for the quintessential journey of their nebulous comers ..

I’m so excited to check this out!

Timely exhibition and conference! Thank You!

I love the way the Rubin inspires person connection with the artwork. The power of intention is to make personal contact with the universe, using artworks as representations of the universe and all it elements. Art brings the energy of the universe into physical form and the intentions it inspires give power to the individual.

Often an important factor in a work of art is meaning, hidden or otherwise. Visual symbols can be very effective whether against war, industrialization, injustice, a rule, the cultural status quo, etc.. Any time you make a statement, it can invoke a good or bad reaction. My father painted an anti-war poster in 1968 of the president with blood on his hands and a biblical quote regarding 'peace' scribbled across the image, and did several works with an anti-violence theme. An uncle of mine was banned from publishing political cartoons after he mocked McCarthy in a NY Tribune cartoon during the McCarthy era. I own a tile that was posted up in the NYC subways in the 60s that protested a fare hike (these tiles were ordered to be removed when the City realized the images were in protest of the fare hike). But I consider it an effective artistic expression. I look forward to the exhibit at the Rubin, to seeing what's being protested today and how! There are mediums available now that barely existed 10 or 20 years ago!

Great programs!!

Gorgeous thoughtful thought provoking show by mid career artists inspiring!

I have been to the Rubin Museum many times and have loved each visit. Now I live a distance away and cannot attend events at the Rubin as frequently as I would like. But I would love to stay in touch with you, because I think the Rubin Museum is one of the best and most mind-challenging Museums in New York City. Thank you for everything that you do!

Thank you for providing this insightful and honest dialogue between Wen and Roy. I accidently came upon it and could not stop listening, relishing each thought and concept. Finally hearing truth be told.

wonderful! thank you!

I have bought different age groups of students to the Rubin and they all appreciated the space. They especially, from the youngest to the oldest, enjoyed the silence.

Very powerful experience, thank you!

When words fail me (either my own or others), photographs come to the rescue.

Preciosa Sala do Santuário Budista Tibetano! Que todos os seres possam ser beneficiados!
