The symbol of Buddhism is called The Wheel of Life. This represents the teaching of the Buddha. The three swirls in the centre of the wheel represent the three jewels of Buddhism, which are the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. The Buddha is a teacher, the dharma is the teachings, and the sangha is the Buddhist community. The Wheel represents the completeness of the Dharma. The Buddhist's holy book is called the Tripitaka, which means triple basket.
