Wheel of Dharma

The Wheel of Dharma is a symbol in Buddhism representing the Buddha’s teachings and the path to enlightenment. The wheel’s circular shape signifies the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara), which teachings aim to transcend. The spokes symbolize different aspects of the Buddha’s teachings, such as moral conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom. Turning the wheel indicates the spreading of Dharma, guiding practitioners toward liberation from suffering. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing, balanced journey toward enlightenment through ethical living, mindful practice, and wise insight.
