it's not Sanskrit at all, but may be Chinese characters,

As I say it, it's 圓Round in the outer, and 方Square in the inner,

And Wholely seeing, it's like a Sun.

I don't know much about Chinese religions, maybe it's about Taoism.

As we Chinese always believe, one person should practice himself both in Sqaure and Round, that is, to be Straightforward and at the same time to be Sophisticated.

The two sides are contradictory, but meanwhile can be complementary, and this theory is applied in Chinese Taoism.
