This episode of Dep Dive explores "The Five Buddha Eyes," a foundational concept in Mahāyāna Buddhist doctrine, detailing five progressive levels of perception culminating in a Buddha's omniscience. It traces the concept's historical evolution from early Buddhist sources and Abhidharma texts to its systematic presentation in the Perfection of Wisdom literature, emphasizing its significance in the Lotus Sutra. The explanation highlights how the Tiantai/Tendai and especially Nichiren Buddhist traditions interpret and integrate this doctrine, with Nichiren Shonin asserting that faith in the Lotus Sutra and chanting Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō allows ordinary individuals to awaken the Buddha Eye in the Latter Age. Ultimately, the text presents the Five Buddha Eyes as a map for spiritual development and a symbolic representation of Buddha's complete knowledge, illustrating the inherent potential for enlightened vision within all beings.
