The Foundation's Intersections programme explores the relationship between Buddhist philosophy and the arts, applying the insights and practices of Buddhism to the arts.

The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Gallery, The Victoria and Albert Museum

Objects showcased are from India, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, Burma, Thailand, China and Japan.

The Dragon's Gift: The Sacred Arts of Bhutan

In collaboration with Honolulu Academy of Arts, the Foundation is sponsoring this multi-year project to preserve, document and present the living Vajrayana Buddhist culture of Bhutan. The project provides conservation trainings for Bhutanese monks, creates a video archive for the Cham ritual dance and develops a database featuring Bhutanese arts in worldwide museum collections. The Foundation hopes to inspire other endeavours in preserving and revitalising traditional arts and culture.

A Compassionate Eye

In early 2007, the Foundation organised A Compassionate Eye – a project featuring photography exhibitions, lectures and meditation workshops by Matthieu Ricard, a distinguished scholar, scientist, photographer, author and Buddhist monk.
