Urna Wall Plaque

Representing inner peace and the moment before Buddha’s spiritual awakening, depictions of Buddha’s closed eyes are a popular focus for meditation. Nepalese ‘stupa’ (shrines) include the Buddha’s eyes gazing out on 4 sides, representing all-seeing wisdom. The mark above the bridge of the nose is called the ‘urna’ and represents a ‘3rd eye’: Buddha’s ability to see beyond the material world
