Bonji Wall Hanging.

A bonji represents a seed syllable.  The most common seed syllable that most people know is the Om.  In Buddhism there is a Bonji that represent different deities and bodhisattvas. This is a simple lay buddhist's way of explaining a deeper more powerful meaning behind the seed syllable.

I have always been drawn to bonji.  They are beautiful to me.  So I wanted to create wall hanging of them.

Here is the top with all of them together.  I put a silhouette of the Buddha in the middle.
