Also known as the eternal or infinity knot and 'shrivasta' in Sanskrit, the intertwining of lines represents how all phenomena are conjoined and yoked together as a closed cycle of cause and effect. Thus, the whole composition is a pattern that is closed on in itself with no gaps, leading to a representational form of great simplicity and balanced harmony.

 

One of the eight symbols in Tibetan Buddhism, it symbolizes the unity between compassion and infinite wisdom, that is without beginning or end.

 

The symbol also represents 'Samsara', which is the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, a karmic cycle that continues eternally until complete spiritual liberation.

Symbols are physical manifestation that can signify the ideology of a particular culture or that merely has meaning within a culture. Through the ages, symbols have allowed us to  go beyond what is known or seen by creating linkages and allowed communication through the use of symbols. 

 

We are surrounded by symbols all our lives. Yet, the ones that have defined our existence could have been overlooked, undervalued and never understood by us. 

 

Delving into the symbols that represent my culture has allowed me to understand the nature and system of our beliefs and how it binds me to my society.  It’s also empowered me, guided me and brought me closer that I lacked.
