Via Buddhist Art News: Last month, I blogged about a dramatic reading of the words of the Buddha at New York’s Rubin Museum of Art. The reading celebrated the release of The Way of the Buddha, a new edition of the Dhammapada featuring images of artwork from the Rubin’s permanent collection. Performers included Academy Award-winner Ellen Burstyn (The Exorcist, Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, W.), Brian Cox (Manhunter, X2: X-Men United, “Deadwood”), and Linus Roache (The Wings of the Dove, Batman Begins, “Law & Order”). The Venerable Rewatha, chief incumbent at Scotland’s Buddhist Vihara, writes about the event here. He’s got pictures too–check it out!
