The Dharmachakra mudra, known as the âturning of the wheelâ gesture, commemorates the Buddhaâs first sermon at Deer Park in Sarnath, marking the inception of his teachings spreading across the world. This gesture, which symbolizes the setting into motion of the Wheel of Dharma, is primarily associated with Gautama Buddha and, in some traditions, with Maitreya, the future Buddha.
