Our Saturday, January 31, 2026 field trip to the Yale University Art Gallery was a rich and enjoyable afternoon of art, learning, and community. During our two-hour visit, we explored Buddhist art—especially the fascinating Gandharan tradition, with its blend of Greco-Roman and Buddhist influences—alongside works from Indonesian, Greco-Roman, and modern collections, including pieces by Picasso, Léger, and Dalí. We also enjoyed viewing the historic paintings of John Trumbull, the American Revolutionary artist and Connecticut native.
Equally meaningful was the chance to connect as a sangha. Participants shared how much they appreciated learning together and making new friends, with several saying, “We should do this again.”
We ended the day with a short walk to BAR Pizza, sharing a variety of pizzas, especially the popular mashed potato pizza, and good conversation. It was a wonderful blend of Dharma, art, and sangha, and we look forward to future outings together.
