| Veil |
In Buddhism, the veiled Maya personifies the seductive illusions of the world. Raising the veil of Maya indicates acquiring secret knowledge about the realities of the world. The mystery of sexuality is symbolized in all races by the bride's veil. Tearing the veil indicates that initiation into a mystery is beginning. Generally speaking, the veil can signify the dangers implicit in forcibly removing the veil of mystery surrounding a situation; secrets often have the nature of a protective function for man's psychic life. |
