Unalome Symbol Series

What’s the meaning of the unalome?

The unalome embodies one of the most important aspects of Buddhist philosophy – the path we take towards enlightenment. The spiral base represents the beginning of our journey, the twisted lines represent the convoluted path that we walk on, the straightening lines at the top represent our gradual awakening and awareness, while the dot or final point of the symbol represent enlightenment. While its primarily a Buddhist symbol, the unalome has universal themes of journeying in life.

What Is the Unalome?

The Unalome is a Buddhist symbol, featuring a single line that spirals, twirls and ends in a straight line. Although simple in appearance, the Unalome holds within it the entire philosophy of human existence.

In Buddhism, the Unalome represents the path we take in life; it’s a representation of our journey – the story of our lives. The path can be winding or convoluted, but it eventually ends in a straight path, symbolizing mental freedom and enlightenment. Often, the image of a lotus is placed at the very top of the Unalome, which adds the symbolism of the lotus to the image.

Unalome as a Symbol of Enlightenment

1. The Base

The bottom of the Unalome symbolizes the starting point in your life. It represents the day you were born. Another interpretation sees the base of the Unalome as the beginning of your spiritual awakening in which you have the first stirrings of conscious awareness.

2. The Lines

The lines that make up the majority of the image indicate the path that your life takes as you reach Enlightenment. Life is never a straight line. It is full of twists and turns, lessons that we have to learn and the struggles that we face. Sometimes our life goes back upon itself because we have to retrace our steps so that we can become wiser.

As we gain greater awareness, our consciousness expands, and the loops that make up the Unalome lines become tighter toward the top of the image. This tightness in the loops is a symbol of one becoming more centered and aligned with the divine and one’s journey towards enlightenment.

From a less spiritual point of view, the closing in of the lines indicates that one is becoming more mature, moving from the stage of an infant to adult. It symbolizes progress through the twists and turns of life and how we learn to grow and react appropriately.

3. The Dots

When you look at an image of the Unalome, you will see dots at the top of the design. These symbolize enlightenment. The line just below the dots becomes straight, which indicates one reaching enlightenment and your end goal. It is a representation of one attaining liberation from the cycle of life and death. You have reached nirvana. Finally, you are free.
