The symbol of the triple Yin Yang is called 'Gankyil' or 'Ananda-cakra' and it is known as the wheel of joy.
The Gankyil is also at the center of another important symbol called Dharmachakra (the wheel of Dharma) that is one of the ashtamangala and a common symbols in many cultures and religions in Asia.

In Tibetan Buddhism the triple in yang is a representation of the three jewels: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
According to the Buddhist doctrine the three jewels are the answers to overcome the “three poisons”: ignorance, desire and anger, well described in the thangkas of the Wheel of Life.
In the Dzogchen tradition the Gankyil symbolizes the trinity of the base, path and fruit.

In this painting the triple Yin Yang symbol is at the center of the mandala and it is surrounded by the sacred mantra of the Bodhisattva of compassion “Om Mani Padme Hum”. The inner part of the mandala is painted in blue and the outer part in red.
