What is the Quotes of Wisdom Exhibit?
The Quotes of Wisdom Exhibit is a curation and celebration of Tarthang Rinpoche’s reflections and insights contained in his many works of over fifty years of writing and publishing. Beginning in the summer of 2019, a number of colleges and universities throughout the United States have invited this simple yet profound exhibition into their own spaces of contemplation. We are delighted to share these precious pearls of wisdom for your inspiration and reflection. The opportunity to reflect on these insights in a contemplative space provides a fresh way of connecting to a deeper understanding of human potential.
