 One such image, for instance, is the twelve-spoked wheel of time or life. Thus, the age of the Buddha becomes one of the most pivotal epochs in Indian history. It marked the shift from tribal oligarchies to centralized monarchies and empires, growth of urbanization, growth of trade, increasing craft specialization, beginning of a monetary sector in the  economy, development of bureaucratic institutions and emergence of specially two new classes: the rich merchants and the professionals or royal advisers. Some thinkers started questioning the significance of performing ever bigger and more complex sacrifices, prompting them to seek the key to efficacious rites in knowledge of their meaning, By the end of the Vedic period, brahmanical thinkers in the Upanishads among other seers and ascetics, were deprecating ritual action and extolling the power of the thought...one of the fundamental contributions of Buddhism in the sphere of ahimsa (no-harm) was that
the image of the wheel (cakra) as a symbol of sacred warfare (most famously the chariot wheel) was
changed into a symbol of sacred peacemaking (the šdhamma wheel› or dharmacakra

 the book ORIGIN AND NATURE OF ANCIENT INDIAN BUDDHISM
Professor K.T.S. Sarao, University of Delhi

We know from math professor Abraham Seidenberg's research on the ritual origins of geometry that the Pythagorean theorem was first approximated via the attempt to "square the circle" for centering the wheel in chariot wheel construction. We also know from music theory that the Pythagorean Theorem originates from the noncommutative iteration of time via 9/8 (major 2nd interval) cubed as the Tritone (Devil's Interval) via the Perfect Fifth (3/2) squared to 9/4 and then halved back into the same octave (2). This same 9/8 "squaring of the circle" was used in ancient Egypt to approximate "pi" also - as I have detailed in my 2012 book, "Alchemy of Rainbow Heart Music"  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharmachakra

  the solar disc, which is said to be a chariot of one wheel (cakra). Mitra, a form of Surya, is described as "the eye of the world", and thus the sun is conceived of as an eye (cakṣu) which illuminates and perceives the world.[9] Thus, a wheel symbol might also be associated with light and knowledge.

Buddhist usage and significance

In Buddhism, the Dharma Chakra is widely used to represent the Buddha's Dharma (Buddha's teaching and the universal moral order), Gautama Buddha himself and the walking of the path to enlightenment, since the time of Early Buddhism.[10][1][note 1] The symbol is also sometimes connected to the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path and Dependent Origination. The pre-Buddhist dharmachakra (Pali: dhammacakka) is considered one of the ashtamangala (auspicious signs) in Hinduism and Buddhism and often used as a symbol of both faiths.[11][note 2] It is one of the oldest known Indian symbols found in Indian art, appearing with the first surviving post-Indus Valley Civilisation Indian iconography in the time of the Buddhist king Ashoka.[10][note 1]

The Buddha is said to have set the "wheel of dharma" in motion when he delivered his first sermon,[12] which is described in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta. This "turning of the wheel" signifies a great and revolutionary change with universal consequences, brought about by an exceptional human being. Buddhism adopted the wheel as a symbol from the Indian mythical idea of the ideal king, called a chakravartin ("wheel-turner", or "universal monarch"),[7][12] who was said to possess several mythical objects, including the ratana cakka (the ideal wheel).

OK but Wikipedia doesn't realize this ancient connection to 12 via music theory. 

 

 So this secret of 12 as the "Small Universe" meditation also practiced in Kriya Yoga based on the oldest philosophy of India - the "three gunas" from music theory - then spread across Asia via Buddhism - the above 12 spoke Dharmakaya chakra wheel is from Thailand. The article emphasizes the "yin-yang" symbol in the center. 

Then the same site explains how this models interdependent origination in Buddhism as based on the 12 energies also. 

 12 spokes representing the Twelve Laws of Dependent Origination (Paticcasamuppāda) or the twelve permutations of the four noble truths.

 The general principle of pratītyasamutpāda (that everything is interdependent) is complementary to the concept of emptiness (Sunyata). Dharmakaya

The diagram, said to be designed by Buddha himself, depicts an inner psychological cosmology that has had great influence throughout Asia. It is much like a map of the world or the periodic table of elements, but it is a map of an internal process and its external effects.[1]

 So my book Ancient Advanced Acoustic Alchemy goes into the 12 energy centers as the secret of the "small universe" meditation found in Pythagorean philosophy, ancient Egypt alchemy, India and China... 

So here is the small universe meditation of alchemy aka "microcosmic orbit"

Here is the music theory origin with Perfect Fifth as the Single Perfect Yang of alchemy.


Qigong Master Chunyi Lin read the book Autobiography of a Yogi and he said it's the same as qigong - the Kriya Yoga alchemy is based on the "three gunas" of music theory  as the "small universe" 12 nodes meditation.

Pythagorean philosophy also taught by Gurdjieff as the "circulation of light" - and Pythagoras trained in Egypt for 22 years. Egypt considered 2/3 music ratio (Single Perfect Yang) as sacred and not reducible to a smaller fraction.

See my book for more details. thanks
