Namaste...

This is the way nepali people welcome you everywhere: namaste.
It means...


Buddha's eyes

The eyes of Buddha represent wisdom and unity. Specially in Nepal and Tibet, Buddha's eyes are painted in every stupa (Buddhist monuments) in all four directions, symbolizing the eyes that can see everything clearly without the obstacles of the matter. Buddha's omniscient view is not an attribute of the Buddha himself, but an attribute of every person who reaches enlightenment it's the achievement of full consciousness, which is not subjected to the limitations of the physical body.

The symbol right below Buddha's eyes, the nose, represents unity and it is a reminder that everything and every living creature is a part of only one body the universal body and therefore, it is an illusion to believe that people are completely separate from each other, as there is a principle that unites them.
