Wheel of Dharma
A symbol representing the Wheel of Dharma in Buddhism.
The Wheel of Dharma (Dharmachakra) is a traditional symbol representing the Buddhist teachings and the path to enlightenment. Its eight spokes are often interpreted as the Eightfold Path, while the wheel itself can signify the turning of the teachings. It appears frequently in scriptures, temple decorations, and on ritual objects to denote guidance in study and meditation. This icon evokes the dissemination of the Buddha's message and the cyclical nature of life. Beyond its religious context, it can also symbolize peace, harmony, and the universal journey toward wisdom.
