The Symbol of Samsara

This black-and-white digital line drawing features a central eight-spoked wheel, known as the Dharmachakra, enclosed within a small circle. This center is surrounded by an eight-petaled lotus pattern contained within a secondary circular frame. This is set inside a square, which is further enclosed by a large diamond shape and a final outer circle. Small circular accents are placed at the midpoint of each side of the diamond.

The central image is the Dharmachakra, the 'Wheel of the Law,' a primary symbol in Buddhism representing the Eightfold Path and the cycle of rebirth (Samsara). The structural arrangement of the square within the circle reflects the traditional architectural mandala form used in Indo-Tibetan traditions for meditation and visualizing the cosmic order.
