BUDDHIST WHEEL OF LIFE ON BACK OF BUDDHA PENDANT

In terms of symbols, the Buddha, seated under the bodhi tree, saw two things. First, he saw a Ferris wheel. This wheel embraces the totality of conditioned existence, it is of the same extent as the cosmos, it contains all living beings. It turns constantly: it turns day and night, it turns life after life, it turns era after era.

We cannot see when it started spinning, and we cannot yet see when it will stop spinning: only a Buddha sees that. The back of the Buddha pendant is also an excellent support for meditation in this sense.
