Interesting Fact

Daruma and the missing eye. A Daruma doll is sold with both eyes blank. After setting a goal, the owner paints in one eye and places the doll somewhere visible. The second eye remains empty until the goal is achieved, quietly serving as a daily reminder that there is still work to be done. The tradition comes from Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, whose image inspired the iconic doll.

Memory Trick

The outer box is the shape of the eye.The lines inside are the eyelids and pupil.
