 We worship the Buddha as a remembrance of His deeds, grateful for His teachings that have led the way of living beings to follow the right path to Enlightenment and Liberation. We worship the Buddha for treating His teachings, called the General of the Fa; The symbol is the French Wheel or "Falun".



 Someone argues that the wheel symbolizes Samsara, that it is not true of the sense of progression; The French wheel (the Falun) has much higher meaning:
1. The wheel of the French movement non-stop, the teachings of the Buddha developed non-stop, timely, rational, reasonable, but the function is still moving, bringing beings from dark to light, From low to high, from ignorance to Enlightenment, from hell to Nirvana.
2. Whenever the French wheel is spread, thorns and gravels are crushed there, deluded and afflicted.
3. The French wheel just goes straight ahead, never going backwards.
The first Dharma talk by Buddha Shakyamuni in the Garden of the Uyuni for the four brothers Kieu-Tran-Nhu, talking about the Four Noble Truths, was called the first Dharma wheel transfer (the first Falun) .
The wheel is painted in circles in 6, 8 or 12 frames. The number 12 symbolizes the "Twelve Causation," the number eight symbolizing the "Noble Eightfold Path," the sixth figure representing the "Sixfold Path."
Perhaps because of the technical and artistic aspects of the wheel has 8 frames are drawn more and more popular. By practicing the "Noble Eightfold Path," beings are going to the path of the Enlightenment, as well as the wheel that the traveler moves to the goal.
The painters also painted the French wheel on the lotus symbolizing the pure Dharma as a lotus grows in the mud rising out of the mud without smelling muddy smell. The Dharma brings the cultivator from the pollution to the purest place, the noble one.
There are painters hand-lift French wheels in the center have the swastika, the will to speak the noble Dharma, should take the hand to welcome reverent, respectful.
In a nutshell, the French wheel "Falun" symbolizes the Buddha's Dharma, which France does not form, without generals, and later by artists, artists, depending on the vibe of spirituality. There may be different forms, but the meaning of the Wheel of Dharma is very high to bring people from Phàm to the Holy, from hell to Nirvana, peace, not the wheel of samsara, beings drifted in the six paths of samsara.
French wheels bring beings out of samsara, escape miserable, if the wheel of samsara is not true to the superior meaning of Buddhism, have the function of saving beings.
In the Buddhist scriptures are examples: people fall into the wheelchair that move away, beings rely on the Buddha Dharma that advances to Enlightenment and Liberation.

 Recently, in the newspapers, books, websites, people use two types of French wheel icon.
1. Type of head as shown above:
These pictures are the shape of the helm, or the French barre, which also has an axis of rotation and frames, but at the end of the frame there are nodes for people to hold onto it, sail.
While driving, this rudder only rotates a few rounds, while in the right, while in the left, it does not rotate in one direction like a wheel. vehicles.
This type of rudder was invented only in the 10th century, when Westerners used sailors to trade with other countries while seeking colonies. Asian sailing ships do not have this type of rudder.
The shape of the ship's rudder is also a beautiful symbol used by Westerners to symbolize leadership. In English, the noun is "at the helm of the country"; English take helm or French prendre la barre means taking the leadership position.
Over the past decades, it has been found that the Buddhist or Tibetan Buddhist websites have used this beautiful symbol, especially the Dharma teachings in English, as it seems appropriate and popular to Westerners. .
It is thought that if one uses this wheel as the symbol of Falun in Buddhism, the meaning will be different. Bearing a symbol of leadership in lieu of the notion of moving the Fa ceaselessly as mentioned above, it is wrong. Especially Westerners are likely to have the wrong impression of its original meaning.
2nd type
The new side is the wheel of the old car, with many car frames. Technically, if you draw enough 12 car frames to represent the charm of the coast, it is too dense to lose the art, so people painted only eight or six frames.
Already wheeled (wheeled) in the carriage, the wheel can not have the handle knob anymore, like the helm wheel. This new image is symbolic of the French wheel with.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.1/9/2017.
