Khorlo (Tib. 'khor-lo) is the Tibetan word for 'wheel' or 'round'. Roughly cognate with the Sanskrit chakra, it is also used to mean mandala.

It appears in the names of some tantric deities such as Chakrasamvara ('khor-lo bde-mchog, "wheel of great bliss") and Kalachakra (dus-kyi 'khor-lo, "wheel of time").

With a different connotation, it can also refer to samsara, or worldly, mundane life, full of suffering (as in "to flow together")[citation needed].
