23. Triple Yin-Yang

The Mandala featuring a triple Yin Yang symbol at its center, encircled by the sacred mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum," is a representation of the 'Gankyil' or 'Ananda-cakra,' also known as the "wheel of joy." In Tibetan Buddhism, the triple Yin Yang symbol symbolizes the three jewels: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. These jewels are considered the means to overcome the "three poisons" of ignorance, desire, and anger according to Buddhist doctrine.
