This museum in Newark, NJ has a wonderful and large collection of Tibetan art,
including a Tibetan altar consecrated by HHDL in the early 90's and then
resanctified by him again a few weeks ago. The handpainting in the altar room
on the moldings, pillars and ceiling is gorgeous and colorful and full of
symbols and animals and flowers and vines. Many many Thangkas and mandalas and
statues, most brought back from Tibet in the 1930's from destroyed monasteries.
Today, with everyone going to the beach in this heat, the place was nearly
deserted and silent and special.
