The Hand-Spin Dharma Wheel

The Dharma Wheel (Dharmachakra) is one of the most ancient and universally revered symbols of Buddhism. Representing the turning of the Buddha’s teachings, it embodies wisdom, virtue, ethical conduct, and the path to liberation.

This compact 10 cm Hand-Spin Dharma Wheel is designed as an offering object for your shrine or practice space—beautiful, meaningful, and interactive. By gently spinning the wheel, practitioners symbolically engage in “turning the Dharma,” invoking blessings and creating merit.

Symbolism and Meaning

1. Turning the Wheel of Dharma

Spinning the wheel represents the continual spreading of the Buddha’s teachings throughout the world, inspiring compassion, wisdom, and awakening.

4. A Symbol of Beneficial Activity

In Tibetan Buddhism, spinning a Dharma Wheel is considered an act of virtue that multiplies merit and purifies obscurations, similar in spirit to spinning a prayer wheel.

How to Use the Hand-Spin Dharma Wheel

• Place it on your shrine as a symbolic offering.

• Spin it before beginning your meditation or practice session.

• Use it to accompany recitations or prayers.

• Keep it in your study area to inspire Dharma study and reflection.

Each spin becomes an act of devotion, aspiration, and cultivates merit.
