The Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal was contructed in the 14th Century. It became one of the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism after thousands of Tibetans fled their country following the 1959 Chinese invasion. This photograph of the top of the stupa shows the representation of Buddha's eyes. The symbol between them which looks like a question mark is actually the Nepali character for "1" which symbolizes unity and the way to reach enlightenment through the Buddha's teachings.
