Buddha Eyes (Wisdom Eyes)

2008-03-30T03:59:00.000-07:00

On virtually every stupa (Buddhist shrine) in Nepal, there are giant pairs of eyes staring out from the four sides of the main tower.

These are Buddha Eyes (also known as Wisdom Eyes), and they look out in the four directions to symbolize the omniscience (all-seeing) of a Buddha.

The Buddha eyes are so prevalent throughout the country that they have become a symbol of Nepal itself.

Between the Buddha's eyes where the nose would be is a curly symbol that looks like question mark.

This is the Nepali character for the number 1, which symbolizes unity of all the things as well as the one way to reach enlightenment—through the Buddha's teachings.

Above this is a third eye, symbolizing the all-seeing wisdom of the Buddha.

Inside all Tibetan Prayer wheels there is a rolled up piece of paper with a prayer on it. By spinning the wheel the user will achieve the same effect as by saying or chanting the prayer. Tibetan Buddhists hope to achieve compassion by saying this prayer, and they also hope to get rid of negative urges and emotions.

"Hello, my name is Krishna Chandra Sharma and I was born on July 10, 1938, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. I started off my career in a totally different field. Having completed my degree in Civil Engineering, I served as a engineer for the Indian Army for twelve years. After my retirement from the Indian Army, I came back to my hometown, where the art of making brass artifacts originated many decades ago. I was enamored by the beauty of these artifacts and thus my journey of making brass artifacts began.

Tibetan Buddhism, commonly known as Lamaism, is a branch of Buddhism practiced mainly in areas inhabited by Tibetans and Mongolians. It emerged during the late 10th century. It was during the mid-13th century that Lamaism intertwined with political power in Tibet, and that later, with the support of the central government of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), it spread to areas inhabited by Mongolians.

Tibetan Buddhism has the following characteristics:
First, for a long period of time it took the form of a long period of time it took the form of a theocracy, whereby religion and politics combine. Second, most of the Tibetans are devout believers in Tibetan Buddhism.

Tibetan Hats

2006-10-31T19:30:00.000-08:00

As Southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region has low temperature, strong sunshine, and changeable weather, as well as strong wind whipping up sand, Tibetans like to wear different styles of hats related to status, gender, and region. The most common one is called "Xamo Gyaise" -- the golden thread hat.

The lining is made with a felt cap base. The top is decorated with golden silk and the edge is inlaid with silk ribbon. The hat is designed with four edges -- the larger front and back edges and the smaller left and right edges --, all sewn with fur.

With fine materials, the hat is very warm and loved by both men and women. When women wear the hat, they place the two larger edges inside the hat, leaving the left and right ones outside; for men, the left, right and back ones are placed inside, leaving only the front one out. In snowy weather, the four edges are all placed outside. The elderly usually set the four edges outside. The golden thread hat is practical and cannot be compared with other hats.
