    ย Dharma Wheel and Pair of Deer

    The Dharma Wheel and Pair of Deer are important symbols in Buddhism. As Buddhists, when visiting a monastery, the first thing we see is a pair of male and female deer at either side of an eight-spoked dharma wheel at the highest point of the monastery roof so Dharma Wheel and Pair of Deer is most commonly known by many as seeing on monastery roof-tops. The eight-spoked wheel represents the first turning of the dharma wheel by the Buddha whereas the male and female deer on the right and left represent the male and female disciples who one-pointedly enjoy and take pleasure in listening to the teachings of the holy dharma.

    Dharma Wheel Symbolism

    The Dharma Wheel, also known as Dharmachakra in Sanskrit, is a symbol of the Buddha's teachings. It is typically depicted as a wheel with eight spokes, which represent the Noble Eightfold Path, a set of principles that serve as the foundation of Buddhist practice. The Noble Eightfold Path includes Right Understanding, Right Intention, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration. The Dharma Wheel symbolizes the Buddha's teachings on how to live a moral and upright life, and how to end the cycle of suffering.

    Pair of Deer Symbolism

    The Pair of Deer (male and female), also known as the Deer Park Symbol, represents the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after achieving enlightenment. According to legend, the Buddha encountered a group of five ascetics who became his first disciples after he explained his teachings to them. The Buddha then went to Deer Park, where he gave his first sermon, known as the Turning of the Wheel of Dharma. The Pair of Deer symbolizes the Buddha's first teachings and the spread of Buddhism throughout the world.

    Both the Dharma Wheel and the Pair of Deer are important Buddhist Symbols and are commonly used in Buddhist art and iconography, and they are widely recognized as symbols of the Buddha's teachings and the spread of Buddhism.
