There are many different symbols in Buddhism, but there isn't one in particular that signifies all Buddhism, like the cross is a symbol of Christianity.

The lotus flower, the wheel of Dharma, the dorje (lighting bolt) and the mandala are a few symbols used in Buddhism to help people remember the underlying principles.

The swastika is a symbol used in Buddhism, Hinduism and Bon, the animistic belief system that predated Buddhism in Tibet. "Swastik" in Sanskrit means "health", and the swastika - either right-turning or left-turning - is often used as a symbol of luck, merit or good health.

THE EIGHT-SPOKED WHEEL OF THE DHARMA IS THE OFFICIAL SYMBOL IN USE BY THE U.S. MILITARY.
