The sections and the colours of the Gakyil symbolize the three types of people linked to the three types of activities of the Community.
The Gakyil turns in an anti-clockwise direction from the outside to the inside and in a clockwise direction from the inside to the outside. This represents on one hand, the inflow of the combined energies of all of the Dzogchen practitioners, and on the other hand, all of the benefits that derive from such energies, spreading in all directions, bringing happiness to all infinite beings.
