Endless knot

An endless knot is a symbol that looks like a knot with no beginning or end. It is made of interlocking loops that weave in and out of each other.

Imagine you have a piece of string and you tie it into a knot. Now imagine you take that knot and keep twisting and turning it until you can't tell where it started or stopped. That's what an endless knot looks like.

The endless knot has been used for thousands of years in many different cultures around the world to represent different things. In Buddhism, it is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols and symbolizes the interconnectedness of all things.

When you look at an endless knot, you might think about how everything in the world is connected in some way, just like the loops of the knot are connected. It reminds us that our actions and decisions can have an impact on others, even if we don't always realize it.
