| The eight-spoked Dharma wheel is generally seen as referring to the historical process of teaching the Buddha Dharma, the eight spokes referring to the Noble Eight-fold Path, with the deer being a direct reference to the Buddha`s first teaching in the Deer Park, Sarnath. The deer is also a personification of virtues while the lotus often refers to the quality of compassion and the inherently pure potential of the mind. |
