| | Buddhism is called Buddha Dharma or the Dharma of the Buddha. | | | Dharma is an ancient Sanskrit term first found in the Rig Veda, the oldest Sanskrit text, for the underlying laws of the universe, not only of matter but of life, mind and consciousness as well. | | | This way all spiritual traditions including the so-called religions of the world are connected to the same Sanatana Dharma and therefore it is said that it is the mother of all religions. |

| | Buddhism, or the spiritual tradition of the awakened one, Buddha, (Buddha-dharma) is regarded as one of the three most widespread major world religions. | | | Buddhism consists of the teachings of the Buddha, which are known as the "buddha-dharma," meaning "teachings of the awakened one." | | | Buddhism was founded by the historical Buddha Shakyamuni or Gautama, in the 5th or the 6th centuries B.C.E. The basic teachings of the Buddha can be recapitulated in the Tripitaka - the three collections of: Vinaya-pitaka (the collection of discipline), Sutra-pitaka (collection of discourses), and Abhidharma-pitaka (collection of abhidharma or metaphysics). |

| | Beyond that, to go for refuge to one's root guru alone--recognizing that he is the embodiment of the Buddha, the Dharma, the Sangha, and the gurus, yidams, and dakinis, the embodiment of all these in one form, and possessing all of their qualities--is the secret form of Refuge....... | | | The awakened objects of the refuge are the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. | | | The first line, "I go for refuge to the guru," expresses one's conviction that the guru or lama is the embodiment of the Three Roots because his actual form, his body, is the guru; his speech is the activity of the dakinis and Dharma protectors; and his mind is the nature of the yidams. |

| | The wheel is not a symbol of Buddhism as the Cross is of the Christian religion. | | | Where the Buddha is represented by the wheel, it is a plain and simple wheel, no different to the wheels of carts in friezes depicting scenes from the Vessantara Jataka or from the life of the Buddha, like the Tapassu Balluka brothers meeting with the Buddha within a few days after his enlightenment. | | | In the early stone friezes at Sanchi, Mathura, Amaravathi and Nagarjunakonde the Buddha is represented by a symbol- the foot-print the wheel, the bodhi tree. |
