chos kyi 'khor lo bskor ba

This metaphor refers to the promulgation of the Buddhist teachings by the Buddha who is recognized to have promulgated three sequential "turnings of the wheel." The association with the concept of a wheel derives from a comparison with the "wheel of sharp weapons" said to be held in the hand of a universal monarch. Within the context‌ of this comparison the sacred teachings are composed of ethical discipline (the central axis), analytic wisdom or discriminative awareness (the sharp spokes), and meditative concentration (the stabilising perimeter).
