This Law Wheel design is the universe’s miniature, and in all other
dimensions it has its forms of being and its evolution processes,
so I call it a
world.
Li Hongzhi
The Law Wheel Design
Our Falun Dafa’s symbol is a Law Wheel. People with abilities can see that the Law
Wheel is turning, and the same goes for our small Law Wheel pins—they’re turning too.
We are guided in our cultivation by the nature of the universe, to be True, Good, and
Endure. We practice according to the universe’s law of evolution, so what we cultivate is
just enormous. In a sense, the Law Wheel design is the universe’s miniature. There’s a
concept in the Buddhist system that the Ten-Directional World is itself a universe, having
four sides and eight directions, or eight points, so it’s possible that some people can see
that above and below it there’s a gong pillar, and that’s why when you count its top and
bottom, you get a ten-directional world, which constitutes this universe. It represents the
Buddhist summary of the universe.
...<P> Some people have said, "This [swastika] symbol looks like that thing Hitler had." I can tell you that this symbol doesn’t have anything to do with any social clashes. Some people say that if the corner tilted to this side it would be Hitler’s thing. That’s not an issue, since it turns both ways. This symbol was widely known in the world 2,500 years ago, it was back in Shakyamuni’s time that they got to know it. It’s only been a few decades since the time of Hitler and World War II, and he stole this symbol for his own use. But the color of his was different from ours, it was black, and what’s more, its corner pointed upward and it stood on its end, it was vertical.
