Tossup
Jay Garfield compared an event figuratively named for this object to the development of the “mind only” and related a story of a world covered in thorns. A series of 1992 lectures named for this object describes praying incantations over cinnabar ink on a boil as a “thirteenth subject” of healing. A mudra evoking this object involves pinching an extended index finger with the other hand’s index finger and thumb. A movement named for this object and founded by Lǐ Hóngzhì is based at Dragon Springs. During the Dvāravatī period, depictions of this object at the top of pillars included images of the Deer Park Sermon. A swastika appears surrounded by yin-yang symbols in this object in a symbol for a movement named for it, the Fǎlún Gōng. For 10 points, name this auspicious symbol that represents the Eightfold Path through its spokes. ■END■
