The Mystical Arts of Tibet: Featuring Personal Sacred Objects of the Dalai Lama.

Images from the exhibition catalog have been added to the HAR website. The cataloguing has begun and will take several weeks to complete.

"Art is an effort to formalize individual moments of wholeness, harmony, and radiance. The transcending effects of these moments, the energy which discloses the mystery of the universe in responding to our spiritual curiosity, uplift and satisfy the soul's need to question and to speak. The tenderness and the powerful presence of art create an inner sunlit circle in which one is quiet and elated. It is a moment of magic. This exhibit of the mystical art of Tibet is such a crystallized moment. In art and in spiritual life neutrality does not exist. Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. July 20 through December 29, 1996 and April 15 through June 7, 1998." (Oglethorpe University Museum).
