The wheel is one of the most important Buddhist symbols. The wheel's motion symbolizes the spiritual change through Buddha's teachings. The eight spokes of the wheel symbolize the Noble Eightfold Path set out by Buddha. It is used to represent wisdom, concentration, and art. It is also known as the Dharmachakra, and today, it appears in the art of every Buddhist culture.
The sacred lotus flower represents rising and blooming above the murk to achieve enlightenment. It is a symbol of fortune, and also resembles purification. The colors of the flower are also important. A white lotus flower represents purity of the spirit and mind. A red lotus flower shows compassion and love. A blue lotus flower bears wisdom and common sense. A pink lotus flower speaks the history of Buddha and his legends. A purple lotus flower represents spirituality. Finally, a gold lotus flower represents achieving enlightenment. The stage the flower is in also has a different meaning. While the lotus flower is closed, it represents the time before a follower reaches enlightenment, so a fully bloomed lotus flower represents full enlightenment. Lastly, the lotus flower symbolizes rebirth after a soul leaves one form, and is reborn into another.
