Description/Quote
Excerpt from The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Buddhism by Gary Gach. A circle -- known as "enso" in Japanese -- universally implies completeness, all. A zen circle can also imply zero, sunyata, absolute, true reality, enlightenment, no beginning/no end in all phenomena, no symbol, the spread of Dharma as a turning wheel, harmony, and womb.

Towson University  "The enso is one of the deepest symbols in Japanese zen: a symbolic representation of enlightenment, encompassing the universe in an endless, cyclical line." 
Dharma Rain Calligraphy by Shodo Harada Roshi of Sogenji.
Zen Paintings "Paintings of Zen inspiration were first brushed in Chinese monasteries approximately 1,300 years ago. Characterized from the start by starkness, the approach has changed little over the centuries. Certain themes are constantly repeated: iron rods, skulls, images of the great patriarch Daruma and, above all, circles." 
One Drop Zendo  "To support the "One Drop Zendo (North Europe)" project, the Zen Master Shodo Harada Roshi has written traditional Zen calligraphies to be offered for sale."
University of Wisconsin "The enso is one of the most profound subjects in Zenga. The enso is simply a circle usually created in one brush stroke. Most say that the enso is the all, the void and enlightenment itself. Some say the enso has no fixed, finite or static meaning. Some have said that the enso represents a continuing action through time; when the painting is seen, it communicates at various levels of understanding depending on the viewer. This is why some say that Zenga embodies the experience of Zen."
