Three wheels of dharma

three wheels of dharma

After attaining enlightenment, the Buddha gave three main groups of teachings called the three wheels of dharma.”

First, at the Deer Park in Sarnath, he turned the wheel of dharma on the four noble truths.

Second, at Vulture Peak Mountain in Rajagrha, he turned the wheel of dharma on prajnaparamita or transcendent wisdom.

Finally, at Vaisali and other places, he turned the wheel of dharma on buddha nature and other topics.
