Each of the components of the logo represents a different aspect of Buddhist teachings and is meant to convey a specific message. The lotus flower represents purity and enlightenment, while the Dharma wheel represents the path toward enlightenment. The Bodhi tree represents the Buddha's enlightenment and growth, and the mantra represents the power of meditation.
In addition to its symbolism, the design of the Buddhist logo is also aesthetically pleasing.

The Buddhist logo has become a widely recognized symbol of Buddhism and is used in a variety of contexts, from temples and shrines to Buddhist artwork and literature. The design of the logo has been adapted and modified over time, but its core components have remained consistent.
