Inkscape Logo.svg
 This vector image was created with Inkscape.

This is the story behind the logo. One day, when Buddha was still a little boy, he always dreamed of being a seaman. But he didn't pursue his dream because their family didn't have money to send him to school. Because of that, he just studied Carpentology. He was the best carpenter in their place. The Dharma Wheel was carpentered by him using some simple tools. When he was done with the wheel, he displayed it in his shop and many liked it. When that happened, he produced more and he became rich because of the wheel. The wheel was his inspiration to become successful. Because of that, Buddhism was discovered and he turned the Dharma Wheel as a logo for Buddhism. That is the story behind the wheel, Buddha, and Buddhism.
