Our Great Teacher, the Supreme Buddha’s deep blue, big eyes (the naked eyes) are the most beautiful eyes in the world, sees things surpassing the capacity of a normal human being.
With the great divine eyes, the Buddha sees from one end to the other end of the brahma world, divine beings of different worlds, human beings, animals, non-human beings, hell, the ghost world and everything.
The Buddha’s eyes sees the amount of defilements of beings and the development of faith, effort, mindfulness, concentration and wisdom (the 5 faculties of enlightenment).
By the eye of Omniscience, the Buddha reflected, whether there was a virtue, a concentration, a wisdom, a liberation and a knowledge of liberation that was not understood by him and saw there was no one greater than the Buddha in terms of virtue, concentration, wisdom, liberation and the knowledge of liberation.
