Circle

The enso (‘circle’) is one of the deepest symbols in Japanese Zen. The enso is the revelation of a world of the spirit without beginning and end. The Zen circle of enlightenment reflects that transforming experience – perfectly empty yet completely full, infinite, shining brightly like the moon-mind of enlightenment.
