Buddhist Thought for the Day


His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn again and bring him down into the dust.

--Buddha, Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.

The Wheel of Dharma is a common symbol of Buddhism. Like the wheel of a cart that keeps turning, it symbolizes Buddha's teaching as it continues to spread endlessly. The eight spokes represent the eightfold Path of Buddha.
