The lotus flower blooming from the sacred lake signifies the Lotus-born Guru Rinpoche, who is considered the second Buddha; the spinning wheel of Dharma signifies the continuous propagation of the Buddhas teachings for the well being of all the sentient beings and the world peace; the wheel of dharma flanked by deers signify the first turning of the Wheel of Dharma at Deer Park in Sarnath, by Lord Buddha, and it also signifies the sentient beings listening to the nectar of Dharma; above the wheel, there are two off shoots of lotus branches with a pair of swans on the left and a pair of parrots on the right perched on the branches, facing each other. The swan and parrot so signify the translators who translated the Dharma from Sanskrit (Pali) to Choekey, during the spread of Buddha Dharma from India to Tibet.
