The Wheel of Dhamma - The teachings of the Buddha through time.
The wheel is one of the most powerful devices ever invented by man and has been used through the ages as a device for the release from burdens of life, to assist in harnessing the energy of the world, and to reach a destination with ease.
The Dhamma is simply the teaching of the Buddha: the truth, understanding, and wisdom, which leads those who practice it to the goal of cessation of all suffering.
The first time the Buddha taught he set in motion the Wheel of Dhamma, which continues to turn to this present day and continues to ease the inherent sufferings of life, assists us spiritually to harness the energy of good in the world, and to attain happiness with ease. It continues to shine a light to the world so that those with the eye of wisdom can see the way.
In the past 2550 years since the Wheel of Dhamma was turned many kings and kingdoms and generations of people have arisen and passed away yet, the Wheel of Dhamma continues to turn.
The purpose of this website is to explain what the Wheel of Dhamma is, and to tell the story of how the wheel has turned and travelled through time and history into the lives of millions of people.
