The Eight-spoked Wheel of Buddhism

The eight-spoked wheel represents the eight-fold path to Enlightenment.
Buddhism began in India about 2500 years ago with the prophet Siddartha, or Gautama Buddha, and was originally an offshoot from Hinduism. Its wisdom is contained in sutras, vinayas, and abhidharmas.

Buddhists believe that a life lived in ignorance and attachment to things is painful. They seek enlightenment, which is detachment from desire. The eight paths to enlightenment include right belief, right purpose, right speech, right conduct, right means of livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right meditations. The quest for enlightenment, personal discipline, and victory over self is holy to the Buddhists.

The Buddhist version of the Golden Rule is: Hurt not others with that which pains yourself.
