The Adamantine Eyes on the Stupa!

The Buddha’s Eyes on the Stupa are said to be Adamantine and All-Seeing. They are described as hard because it is hard to look out at the mass of suffering and not hate it, and not try to control it. It is a gaze of wisdom and compassion.

When I see them they make me feel like I should be keeping an eye on getting free because it is Directly Observable! It is the adamantine eye that isn’t distracted and can always see that nothing is forever.

Its when we cultivate our own chill, we free and show love to those around us.
