What do the eight spokes represent?

The eight spokes of the Dharma Wheel, or Dharmachakra, represent the Noble Eightfold Path in Buddhism, which is a guide to ethical and mental development leading to enlightenment. Each spoke symbolizes one of the eight practices: Right Understanding, Right Intent, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration. Together, they illustrate the path to overcoming suffering and achieving spiritual awakening.
