From May 28 to January 17, Cambridge’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology will house “Buddha’s Word: The Life of Books in Tibet and Beyond,” an exhibition that explores Tibetan texts from historical, anthropological, linguistic, artistic, and scientific angles. Visitors to the Li Ka Shing gallery of the museum will see examples of text used as a ritual object, learn how traditional Tibetan texts are made and analyzed, and trace the path of the Buddha’s words across Asia.
