Summary

Description
English: Tibetan Buddhist Prayer Chart, that can be read vertically, horizontally and diagonally. Painting on the wall of 18th Century Lippa Monstery, Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh India

This Kunzang Khorlo is a metrical arrangement in several squares resembling a chessboard and sometimes in forming an acrostic.

Künzang Khorlo (ཀུན་བཟང་འཁོར་ལོ་), which literally means the Wheel of Complete Good, is a common poetic graph found on the walls of temple entrances in Bhutan and the Buddhist Himalayas. The graph contains poems which are composed by high lamas and can be read in different ways.

These graphs are often painted on the walls at the entrance of the temples and dzongs. Beside their decorative purposes, the poetic graphs are also considered as a sign of auspiciousness and blessing.
