The Dharma Chakra represents ‘dharma’, the Buddha’s teaching of the path of enlightenment. It is one of the oldest known Buddhist symbols found in Indian art, appearing with the first surviving post-Harappan Indian iconography. The wheel with twenty-four spokes represents the Twelve Laws of Dependent Origination and the Twelve Laws of Dependent Termination. These spokes were thought to represent twenty-four states of India, which were present when India was formed. The Dharma Chakra is one of the eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism.
