MAXXI auditorium
free admission subject to availability
event in Mongolian with English translation

A lecture by the Khamba Lama, the highest authority on Mongolian Buddhism, dedicated to the relationship between art and spirituality, starting with the historical figure of Zanabazar.

Undur Gegeen Zanabazar, the first spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia and a descendant of Genghis Khan’s illustrious lineage, represents a fundamental figure in Mongolia’s religious and cultural evolution. A renowned philosopher, Zanabazar profoundly influenced his time’s spiritual and artistic practices.

His work includes sculptures such as Green Tara, White Tara, and the Five Dhyani Buddhas, as well as his self-portrait. Distinguished by their intricate detail, spiritual depth and aesthetic refinement, these works occupy a prominent place in the history of Mongolian sculpture.
