The Dhammacakka mudra is also known as mudra of Teaching of the Wheel of Dhamma. It depicts one of the most important moments in the Buddha's life - teaching his first sermon in Sarnath after he attained Enlightenment.
The Dhammacakka mudra, with the thumb and forefinger forming a circle (wheel) underlines this teaching. The 3 raised fingers is interpreted in many ways - to mean Sila, Samadhi, Panna, or the 3 characteristics.
