When Buddhism came to China more than 2000 years ago, one of the Buddhist teachings referred to the Five Eyes. They are five kinds of "vision" or "wisdom-eyes" that represent different levels of perception and understanding:
1. Fleshly Eye (肉眼) – ordinary human eyesight.
2. Divine Eye (天眼) – the ability to see beyond ordinary sight, including distant or hidden things.
3. Wisdom Eye (慧眼) – the insight into the truth of Dharma and emptiness.
4. Dharma Eye (法眼) – the ability to discern the profound meaning of all Buddhist teachings.
5. Buddha Eye (佛眼) – the all-encompassing, perfect wisdom of a Buddha, seeing reality in its entirety.
I guess, in a way, the attached photos reflected what a Divine Eye can see...
P.S. Drone photography and its place in modern society is a philosophical discussion. Today, I do have a strong reservation - and even opposition - to drone photography.
