Concentric?
What does it mean for the continents to be "concentric"? Is this supposed to mean each continent is a hollow ring surrounding the previous continent? It's pretty confusing and needs clarification. 2601:441:4900:A6E0:CCCF:E44A:FFA9:5E21 (talk) 15:14, 17 June 2022 (UTC)


 * It means that they share one central point that they are arranged around.
 * The word 'concentric' always confused me too when I was reciting a mandala offering text so I just looked up a German translation. dict.cc gives a translation of 'concentric' as 'mit gemeinschaftlichem Mittelpunkt' ('with a shared midpoint').. This fits the depictions so I think that's what's meant with 'concentric'.
 * I just saw your comment and looked this up. I hope it helps. cheers.. 2A02:8108:1540:3ED4:B1D2:D6DE:1C29:3FBF (talk) 22:53, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
