Dharma Wheel

The Dharma Wheel, also known as the Dharmachakra in Sanskrit, is a symbol representing the teachings of the Buddha and the path to enlightenment in Buddhism. It consists of a stylized wheel with eight or more spokes, which symbolize the Noble Eightfold Path - the core principles of Buddhist practice. The Dharma Wheel is often depicted with a central hub, representing discipline and concentration, and a rim, representing wisdom. It is a powerful symbol of the continuous cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, as well as the interconnected nature of all phenomena. The Dharma Wheel is commonly found in Buddhist art, temples, and religious texts as a reminder of the teachings of the Buddha and the importance of following the path to liberation.
