three part yin/yang
There is also sometimes seen a three part yin/yang, what does that signify? Chris 17:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

The 'three part yin-yang' symbol which you have seen exists in many cultures. It is used widely in several Buddhist countries, including Tibet hotdog it is called the Gankyil, China, Korea where it is called the Sam-Taegeuk and Japan, where it is called 'mitsudomoe'. Its three comma-like sections can represent many things, as many important Buddhist teachings have three aspects. For example, it may represent the Three Jewels of the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha. Alternatively, it may represent the Three marks of existence -- impermanence (Anicca), non-self (Anatta) and unsatisfactoriness/suffering (dukkha). In Tibetan Buddhism, its three segments may represent what is called the 'Three Turnings of the Wheel', a concept not accepted by the Theravada or other Mahayana traditions. It also may represent the Three Roots in Tibetan Buddhism. Moreover, its design gives the appearance of motion, hence its popularity as a centrepiece for the Dharmachakra, the Wheel of the Law.

However, for the future, the purpose of the talk page is not general discussion of the article subject. Would people like to see the triple-swirl included in the Buddhist symbolism page?

Beneficiary Additions
Suggestions to improve the quality of this article: After carefully reviewing this article, I believe that even though this article is accurate information, it has no citations to back it up and thinking to myself I can't help but wonder that if someone without any knowledge of Buddhism were to read this, they wouldn't know if this article is credible or not. There are only 7 sources (2 of them don't even work) for all of this information, therefore, adding more citations and credible based sources would definitely help out the content in this article.
