Dharma wheel
The Dharma Wheel, or Dharmachakra, is a symbol representing the Buddha’s teachings and the path to enlightenment. Its circular shape signifies the completeness and ongoing cycle of life, suffering, and liberation. The wheel’s spokes often symbolize the Noble Eightfold Path—ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom—that guides practitioners toward spiritual awakening. Originating in Buddhist tradition, the Dharma Wheel encourages followers to pursue understanding, compassion, and inner peace, emphasizing that spiritual growth is a continuous process. It serves as a reminder of the importance of mindfulness and the interconnectedness of all beings.
