There are so many wonderful ways to spend time on Capitol Hill (as a recent post reminds us), but I wanted to give a nod to another:

I took my Intro to Philosophy students to the Seattle Asian Art Museum today for one of their tours, called “Discovering Buddhist Art: Seeking the Sublime.” It was pretty damn cool. (I think even my hipster freshmen enjoyed it.)

Docent named Kevin did a great job of explaining some of the more interesting pieces (1,000 arms on that Bodhisattva!?), the historical background, and the religious and philosophical significance of some of the great pieces there.

All right here on Capitol Hill! Huzzah!
