Charged with Buddha’s blessing - Relics from an Ancient Stupa

In June 2019, the Piprahwa gems were shown as part of the ‘Power’ theme that tied various exhibits at the Rubin Museum together:

Throughout 2019, the Rubin Museum’s exhibitions and programs focus on how we can activate the power that exists within and between us. “Charged with Buddha’s Blessings,” along with power objects displayed across two exhibition floors, invites visitors to consider how objects can function as sources of power. The power of the gems — and the merit accumulated by those who see and approach them — align with the Rubin’s yearlong focus on the theme of power and exploration of how power is conferred.
