Meditation Session Led by Michel Pascal Features Shezad Dawood's Contemporary Buddhist Artwork

A meditation session led by teacher Michel Pascal focuses on the theme of fierce compassion. The session incorporates discussion of Shezad Dawood's 2018 neon sculpture 'Wrathful Activity, Fierce Energy,' which depicts protective Buddhist deities in a contemporary style using neon on black board. The artwork is part of the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art's collection. Pascal, who has taught meditation for 25 years and authored numerous books, has presented his methods at institutions including the United Nations and Carnegie Hall. The meditation session is presented by the Rubin Museum, which promotes awareness of Himalayan art and cultures.
