Two golden deer facing a Dharma wheel

This arrangement, common on Buddhist temples, refers to the first teaching of Buddha which took place in Sarnath Deer Park near Varanasi setting in motion the first turning of the Dharma Wheel.

The 8 spokes of the Dharma Wheel represent the 8 paths to enlightenment, which must work together. The right understanding, attitude, speech, action, work, effort, mindfulness and meditation.
