While events across campus and throughout the community focus on Tibetan religion and culture, the Library’s exhibition looks to the larger context of Buddhism and how the different schools of thought intersect and diverge. The Bridging Worlds exhibition focuses on six topics in Buddhist culture: texts, Buddha biographies, monasteries, the caitya, practitioners, and the mandala. Each of the display cases feature words and works from Asia that illustrate the diverse nature of Buddhism.
