The Eyes of Buddha •
This image depicts the symbol known as the "Eyes of Buddha" or "Eyes of Wisdom," one of the most iconic representations of Buddhist spirituality, surrounded by inscriptions in Tibetan script. The eyes, depicted with an enigmatic and serene expression, symbolize the Buddha's omniscience and wisdom, watching in all directions and recognizing the interconnected reality of all things. Between the eyes is a spiral-like symbol representing the unity of the universe and the third eye, which signifies inner vision and spiritual awareness. The entire design invites reflection on the transcendence of the material and the pursuit of inner truth, central values in Buddhist practice.
