In old time, Dhamma Cakka being portrayed like a chariot wheel, because it is the closest image to people at that time, but Dhamma cakka doesn't have to look like a chariot wheel. Today's Dhamma Cakka must be portrayed in the most modern mind can feel comfortable about it. Its important to get people comfortable to a teaching so they want to learn buddhism. Its not a form of sedative method, but we just have to bring the teaching of Buddha into today;s mind, like what Buddha said, "heir of my teaching, not my belongings."
