Queens, New York: center for dharma arts

Buddhism and the arts: From Zen calligraphy

to the compositions of John Cage and Meredith Monk, to the Beasties and Lou Reed, dharma and arts go together like bacon and . . . everything? (Wait a minute, I’m a vegetarian.)

On a recent jaunt to Queens for some lighthearted end-of-summer fun, this IDP member happened on this performance of Susurrus, by Cassie Mey, previously IDP activism co-ordinator, at the FLOAT Festival in Socrates Sculpture Park, Queens, New York, Sunday 30 August 2009.
