The rotation of the Dharmachakra marks the exposition and clarification of the Law for all living beings. By starting the wheel, the Buddha enabled people to find nirvana, revealing to his first listeners the 4 noble truths and the eightfold path.
The eight spokes of the Wheel of Dharma just reflect the 8 stages that need to be comprehended on the way to Nirvana:
1. The right view
2. Correct thinking
3. Correct speech
4. Correct behavior
5. The right way of life
6. Correct effort
7. Correct awareness
8. Correct contemplation
Other parts of the Wheel of Law are also important:
Its general shape of the circle (chakra) symbolizes the perfection of the Dharma teaching;
The center represents the discipline as the main center of Buddhist meditation;
The rim on which the spokes are held refers to concentration (samadhi).
The image of the Dharmachakra is so sacred that it often adorns the chest of many Buddhist deities, and also symbolizes the 8 petals of the Anahata heart chakra.
The Dharma Wheel is one of the "Eight Good Symbols of Buddhism" - artifacts that the Buddha received from the deities when he achieved enlightenment. The golden Dharmachakra was presented to Buddha by Brahma, one of the supreme gods of the Hindu pantheon. Therefore, it has an important sacred significance.
The Wheel of Law is depicted on all kinds of secular and sacred Buddhist objects, carved on wooden furniture, embroidered on silk, placed on wall panels, on the road leading to temples and monasteries.
The Dharmachakra symbol is found on the flags and coats of arms of some countries, for example, India, Mongolia, Sri Lanka.
For an ordinary person, Dharmachakra can also be extremely useful as:
- A visual symbol of karma - the law that says "what you sow, you will reap"
- A vivid reminder of the immortality of the soul and the futility of some experiences
- A guide and compass for spiritual development according to the precepts of the Buddha
- A beautiful picture that brings a blessing to your home and to your whole life
