The endless knot in Buddhism is one of the eight auspicious symbols and represents several profound concepts, including the interconnectedness of all things, the cyclical nature of life and death, the law of cause and effect, and the eternal wisdom and compassion of the Buddha. Its design, with no beginning or end, is a powerful metaphor for timeless concepts like wisdom and compassion, and the interconnectedness of worldly matters and religious thought.
