A highly innovative multimedia experience using spoken text, music and digital imagery illuminates the classic Buddhist text, The Tibetan Book Of The Dead, which demystifies death and gives new insights into life. Artists include composer Philip Glass, director Peter Goldfarb, production designer Kenneth Green, writer Douglas Penick, Tibetan thangka painter Romio Shresthra, and digital imagery by Integrated Digital Media Institute, Polytechnic University, directed by Carl Skelton. Witness the creative process at this workshop production. Co-commissioned and produced with the Golden Sun Foundation for World Culture.

Explore the singular yet universal journey between life and death at this daylong symposium focusing on the classic Buddhist text known in the West as the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The symposium features Gehlek Rimpoche, founder of Jewel Heart, a Tibetan Buddhist and Cultural Learning Center; Ramon Prats of the Rubin Museum of Art; and other speakers. The program will include a comparison of different views of death as a journey.
