The Wheel of Life
The Buddhist Wheel of Life
The Wheel of Life illustrates in a popular way the essence of the Buddhist teachings,
the Four Truths: the existence of earthly suffering, its origin and cause, the ending or prevention
of misery and the practice path to liberation from suffering.

The Wheel
The wheel is a common symbol of the Buddha’s teaching, of truth,
and can be seen as a simple mandala. As it turns,
the centre remains still while everything else turns around it.
