| The Dharma Wheel - Buddhist Symbol | |
The Dharma Wheel is characterized by eight spokes. Each of these spokes represents the Eightfold Path. This Eightfold Path is considered to be the path to enlightenment. This path to enlightenment requires pure intentions and total commitment to mental discipline and ethical conduct. Buddhism, in its early years, adopted the symbol of the Dharma wheel as its primary insignia. The Dharma wheel is considered to be the "wheel of spiritual change or transformation." The rapid motion of the wheel represents the quick transformation wrought by Buddha's teachings. |
