Diamond Sutra – 5 eyes of the Buddha

11/12/2013
11/12/2013

The Buddha has 5 eyes:

1) Human eyes – what we ordinarily use to see

2) Deva eyes – sight that transcend ordinary time and space

3) Wisdom eyes – mental/psychic discernment that aligns with truth

4) Dharma eyes – perception of one’s innate unchanging reality

5) Buddha eyes – perfect perception as the Buddha upon completing the entire journey of Buddhist cultivation

The public aware mostly of their Human eyes, the curious are easily drawn to the Deva eyes, truth seekers cultivate their Wisdom eyes, the realized ones see with the Dharma eyes, those who continue on eventually perfects the Buddha eyes.
