I have always been interested in world religions.  For this post I am going to show some of the common symbols used in Buddhism and Taoism as symbols of Zen.  The first one I have is the Yin and Yang.  I have a video hear about the meaning.  It comes from taoism and it represents good and evil.  Yin is black and can be cold and the white is the Yang.  The meaning of the dots in each is to mean that neither one is complete(Zhelyazkov, 2022).       The next one is called the Enso Circle.  This symbol comes from Buddhism and it can also be called the enlightenment or Infinity circle(Zhelyazkov, 2022).   This last one it the Om or Aum symbol and is a Hindu symbol that is also used in Zen Buddhism.  It is said that it represents the sacred sound that is said to be the sound of the universe(Zhelyazkov, 2022).   References cited: Zhelyazkov, Y.
