Handmade in Simon Day's workshop in London, this dharma wheel, or dharmachakra in Sanskrit, is one of the oldest symbols of Buddhism. It is also one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism.

A dharma wheel is made up of three main parts - the hub, the rim, and the spokes. The wheel has vast and profound meaning, here then is a very brief guide to the wheel's symbolism:

• The circle - represents the perfection of the dharma, the Buddha's teaching.


• The rim - represents meditative concentration and mindfulness.


• The hub - represents moral discipline. The three swirls at the centre of the hub represent the Three Jewels--Buddha, dharma, sangha.
