Meaning

A circle with eight spokes, a little like a ship’s wheel, known as the Dharma wheel. In Buddhism it stands for the Buddha’s teaching, and the eight spokes are often linked to the Noble Eightfold Path.

Buddhists use it in greetings for Vesak and other holy days, in temple group chats and next to quotes about mindfulness: “Visiting the temple with Grandma this morning ☸️🙏” The wheel also appears in Hindu and Jain traditions with related meanings.
