    Hello here are two bits I thought you would like! :) I actually have the Buddha eyes across my back and shoulders (tattoo)....I always loved the eyes and I knew they were all-seeing..and found on Temples (esp. Nepal)...thanks for giving me the push to explore it more myself! Peace :)

    The Eyes of the Buddha The Eyes of the Buddha see all things with the Eye of Transcendent Wisdom, free of all delusion. In the image, above the eyes is a circle or occasionally a spiral, representing the Emptiness and Purity of all phenomena. Below the eyes is a stylized number one, representing the Transcendent Unity of All. This simple and profound symbol dates back to early Indian Buddhism

    These eyes are symbolic of God's all-seeing perspective. There is no nose between the eyes but rather a representation of the number one in Sanskrit signifying that the single way to enlightenment is through the Buddhist path. Above each pair of eyes is another eye, the third eye, signifying the wisdom of looking within. No ears are shown because it is said the Buddha is not interested in hearing prayers in praise of him.
