REPORT: OPEN MIND, OPEN MIC at Rubin Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

As it begins: A Seeker yearning for Buddha<\/p><\/div>\n

“Buddha\u2026\u00a0Most Revered Buddha\u2026\u00a0Most Beloved Buddha\u2026<\/p>\n

What is Real?<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

“You left the palace,
\nyou left wealth,
\nyou left your wife,
\nyou left your child\u2026
\nEverything you left
\nto know the Truth.<\/p>\n

So Buddha,
\nwhat IS Real?<\/strong>!”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I think of you sitting under the Boddhi tree that day.
\nAlready you had given up even the desire for your own life,
\nall to know the Truth.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She sits and vows.<\/p><\/div>\n

MC and the photographer from the Rubin Museum<\/p><\/div>\n

“Withdraw the breath\u2026
\nWithdraw the senses\u2026
\nWithdraw the mind\u2026<\/p>\n

So that I can know only You.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By this point, the space had <\/em>
\nalready begun to fill with silence. <\/em>
\nIt seemed that it was quite unexpected for the audience when she began to move…, and a few whispered curiosities to each other in the back. \u00a0But soon the only sound that resonated was the sound of camera’s shuttering from all around.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"

Omkarasana<\/p><\/div>\n

The audience was captured by the seeker’s intensity and single-pointedness.<\/em>
\n Her eye gaze and body were completely still and fixed for a long time.<\/em>
\n The audience was drawn into that stillness too and complete silence permeated the space.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then, the seeker meditates.
