This is the first of several rare Himalayan exhibits launching a partnership between The Crow and Rubin Museum of Art in New York City. It is also the first of seven satellite exhibits featuring objects from the 13th to the 19th Century of sculptures and colorful paintings reflecting fully realized women of power, compassion, and omniscience, including Tara, the most popular female Buddha in Tibet.

Female Buddhas are a lesser known aspect of Himalayan culture, according to research. The exhibit opened at The Rubin last year and continued through January 2007. Female Buddhas derive from northern Mahayana Buddhism rather than the Theravada Buddhism practiced in Southeast Asia, according to one website. Buddhist manuals that teach philosophy, meditation, and yoga recommend instead that practitioners meditate on different forms with various symbolic meanings.
