Description
Dharma Wheel and Deer , Ritual Items
Dharma Wheel is a very prominent symbol as it is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols. It is typically seen between two deer, which symbolizes Buddha's first teachings in a deer park. When Buddha gave this first sermon, the deer in the park gathered around and listened. When deer are depicted alongside a Dharma Wheel, it serves as a reminder that Buddha valued all beings and all life, not just humans.
The Wheel of the Law (dharma chakra) is the single most important symbol of Buddhism, denoting the Buddha’s First Sermon in the forest at Sarnath , where he set Buddhist Law (dharma) in motion. When the wheel has eight spokes, it represents the Eightfold Path and Buddhism. It is Finely made with copper and plated with sliver.
