Description

Celtic knot work and buddhist symbolism are united in this piece inspired by the Buddha's words. The knot of eternity, a Buddhist symbol of unity and one of the eight auspicious symbols, follows the rules of celtic knotwork, symbolically uniting the interweaving of wisdom and compassion in one endless knot. Using the knot of eternity as inspiration, I designed a Celtic bordered that unites Celtic style with Buddhist thought. In between the knot work, you will find the wheel of dharma, a symbol of the Buddhist teachings, as well as lotus flowers blossoming with compassion.

The text reads:
In the end, these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?
