 The Endless knot or Eternal knot (Sanskrit: Shrivatsa; Tibetan "Dpal be'u") is a symbolic knot found in Tibet and Mongolia. The motif is used in Tibetan Buddhism, and may also be found in Chinese art as one of the Eight auspicious symbols.
The Endless knot has been described as "an ancient symbol representing the interweaving of the Spiritual Path, the flowing of Time and Movement within That Which is Eternal. All existence, it says, is bound by time and change, yet ultimately rests serenely within the Divine and the Eternal." Various interpretations of the symbol are:
The inter-twining of wisdom and compassion.
Interplay and interaction of the opposing forces in the dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union, and ultimately to harmony in the universe.
The mutual dependence of religious doctrine and secular affairs.
The union of wisdom and method.
The inseparability of emptinesss (shunyata) and dependent origination, the underlying reality of existence.
Symbolic of knot symbolism in linking ancestors and omnipresence and the magical ritual and meta-process of binding (refer etymology of Tantra, Yoga and religion) (see Namkha.)
Since the knot has no beginning or end it also symbolizes the infinite wisdom of the Buddha.

 SFT wishes you health, peace and joy in the Tibetan Year of the Earth Mouse - starting February 7, 2008. According to the astrological predictions of the Tibetan calendar, the Year of the Earth Mouse will bring balanced rainfall and harmony of the elements. Tibetans celebrate Losar (New Year) by eating dresil (sweet rice) in the morning, and drinking chang (rice beer) in the evening - a few of us drink it throughout the day! Losar is a time for merriment and renewal, when old clothes and bad habits are discarded. We look forward to the day when Tibetans can once again celebrate Losar in a free and independent Tibet.

 Albert Einstein dijo:
"La religión del futuro será una religión cósmica. Deberá transcender al Dios personal y evitar el dogma y la teología. Tendrá que abarcar tanto lo natural como lo espiritual, y deberá estar basado en un sentido religioso que surja a partir de la experiencia de todas las cosas naturales y espirituales como una unidad significativa. El Budismo responde a esta descripción. Si existe alguna religión que pueda satisfacer las necesidades científicas modernas, es el Budismo."
