what is the meaning of dhammacakka
The dharmachakra (IAST: dharmacakra; Pali dhammacakka; Wheel of the Dharma ), is one of the Ashtamangala of Indian religions such as Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism.n the Bhagavad Gita too, verses 14, 15 and 16, of Chapter 3 speak about the revolving wheel thus: From food, the beings are born; from rain, food is produced; rain proceeds from sacrifice (yagnya); yagnya arises out of action; know that from Brahma, action proceeds; Brahma is born of Brahman, the eternal Paramatman.
The wheel is a symbol of the Buddha's teaching-referring directly to his first discourse; in Sarnath, India. In Pali the wheel is called The Dhammacakka or 'Teaching Wheel'.Dhamma is 'truth' or 'nature'; which is what the Buddha was teaching; the truth of our own human nature.he two thumbnails are good examples of the aniconic use of the wheel. They are both presented as symbols of the Buddha's first sermon in the deer park. In the first the wheel is raised on a pillar.
