Buddhist Symbols and Their Meanings
Buddhist symbols represent complex ideas and concepts within Buddhism, aiding in understanding and conveying spiritual truths. Some key symbols include the lotus flower (purity and enlightenment), the Dharma wheel (the Buddha's teachings), and the swastika (though now associated with hate speech, it historically represented auspiciousness in Buddhism). Other important symbols include the conch shell (the spread of Buddha's teachings), the precious parasol (protection from evil), the vase of treasures (good fortune), and the victory banner (victory of the enlightened)
