The dharmachakra (Pali: dhammacakka, Devanagari: धर्मचक्र) or wheel of dharma is a widespread symbol used in Buddhism.[1][2] The symbol also finds usage in Hinduism, particularly in places that underwent religious transformation,[3][4][5][6] and in Jainism and in modern India.
Historically, the dharmachakra was often used as a decoration in East Asian statues and inscriptions, beginning with the earliest period of East Asian culture to the present.[7] It remains a major symbol of the Buddhist religion today.
