The meaning of the wheel of turning the wheel of dharma. Looking at the wheel badge with 12 spokes, someone said, it is the wheel of reincarnation. They interpret the 12 spokes as a symbol of the Twelve Destinations. Some say it is the wheel of turning the wheel of Dharma. Please ask: Through the above 2 things, do not know which is correct? If we say any is true, then we would like to say right away: the person who said that the wheel has 12 spokes, representing the wheel of samsara, is true. Why? Because the teaching of the 12 causes and conditions from "Ignorance to Lao Tzu" is a chain, a vicious circle in which sentient beings are bound forever in the "Three Realms and Six Paths". In order to get rid of or break this chain of bondage, everyone needs to get rid of ignorance, because it is the main culprit causing suffering. Therefore, people use the image of a wheel with 12 spokes to express the meaning of samsara that people continue to live and suffer. As for the wheel that turns the wheel of Dharma, then people make a wheel with 8 spokes to represent. The number 8 represents the Eightfold Path. The Eightfold Path includes: Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration. Because in the Four Noble Truths (Suffering, Collection, Cessation, and Dao), the Noble Eightfold Path belongs to the Noble Truth. The Dao Emperor consists of 37 parts or products, commonly known as 37 articles of support. Thirty-seven products of the path include: the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, the Four Right Efforts, the Four Consciousnesses, the Five Roots, the Five Powers, the Seven Bodhi and the Eightfold Path. Of these 37 articles of support, the Eightfold Path is the most important. Because those are the eight paths that lead living beings to enlightenment and liberation. In other words, these are the 8 methods of cessation of suffering to attain peaceful Nirvana. Therefore, to remind everyone to always remember these eight important paths, So people use a wheel with 8 spokes to symbolize the meaning of turning the wheel of Dharma.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=BUDDHIST DHARMA WHEEL GOLDEN MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.23/1/2023.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
