Meaning of Our Logo is...

Picture
        ​The slogan of the Mahamevnawa Buddhist meditation centre meaningfully illustrates the unsurpassed dispensation of the perfectly Enlightened Buddha. The wheel, containing 24 spokes represents the nine supreme qualities of the Buddha, the six supreme qualities of the Teachings of the Buddha(Dhamma) and the nine supreme qualities of the Holy order of Monks(Sangha).The Buddha’s preaching is stated as “The setting in motion  the incomparable wheel of Dhamma”. The wheel stands for the propagating the liberating Teachings of the Buddha as well.
        Lion, the king of the forest is considered as so brave and powerful, so majestic and mighty. When he roars coming out from his lair, all the animals in the forest hear, listen and pay attention to that. So too, the Buddha, the fully Enlightened Buddha teaches his sublime doctrine as brave as a lion, that dispels all the sorrows and sufferings in the world, wise people  pay careful attention to that. The two majestic lions defending the incomparable wheel of Dhamma( Dhamma- the teachings of the Buddha ) directly stand for the unshakable bravery of the Thatagatha(Thatagatha- the Buddha).

Come join us in learning and practicing the teachings of the Fully Enlightened Buddha!
