Buddhist Symbols

Buddhist symbols visually represent core teachings and values. The Dharma Wheel (Dharmachakra) signifies the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, and the path to enlightenment. The Lotus flower symbolizes purity and awakening, rising untainted from muddy waters. The Buddha’s footprints represent his presence and teachings. The stupa is a monument embodying the enlightened mind and the universe’s structure. Mandalas are intricate designs symbolizing wholeness and spiritual journey. These symbols serve as focal points for meditation and reminders of the path toward enlightenment, reflecting Buddhist principles like compassion, wisdom, and impermanence.
