Ensō (“Zen circle”) calligraphy by Kanjuro Shibata XX, c. 2000. The ensō is a symbol of enlightenment, the universe, and the void in Zen Buddhism. It represents the moment when the mind is free to let the body create. The circle is often left open to symbolize the imperfection of life and the beauty of incompleteness.

Just as Tibetan traditional medicine and Tantric traditions examined the energetic and symbolic structure of the human body, the Yogācāra school developed a detailed inner cartography of the mind.
