The visit to the Rubin Museum was unexpectedly interesting. When I first heard that it was about the Himalayas and “it’s surrounding regions” I thought I was headed towards the direction of Boredom. Though the museum itself is small (especially since we didn’t get to see the other floors), I learned a great deal about the Buddhists. One of my close friends is a Buddhist monk and I always found his religion to be a little peculiar. Amazingly, the Buddhists are fascinating people who follow virtuous principles and contain so much spiritual knowledge. All of the sculptures of the different types of Buddhas or lower levels of “enlightened ones” were awe-inspiring. The little dark, gold and red room used for prayer/meditation instantly passed on some form of energy to me as I stepped into it’s premises. It was weird but in a good way. Overall I enjoyed my experience there and I thank everyone who allowed me to visit for free.
