Description
"In Buddhism, the wheel is one of the most important Buddhist symbols, as it represents the teachings of the Buddha. The Buddha was the one who 'turned the wheel of the dharma' and thus the wheel symbol is the Dharmachakra, or 'wheel of law.' The Tibetan term for this symbol, chos kyi'khor lo, means 'the wheel of transformation.'
The wheel's motion is a metaphor for the rapid spiritual change engendered by the teachings of the Buddha: the Buddha's first discourse at the Deer Park in Sarnath is known as the 'first turning of the wheel of dharma'."
