According to the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist tradition, it is generally accepted that the Buddha Siddhartha Gautama gave his teaching in "three turns of the wheel". The expression " Three Wheels of Dharma " or "Wheel of the Law with three turns" are used interchangeably.
Teachings of the Buddha, Ellora caves built under Chalukya and Rashtrakuta, post-Gupta style statue c. 700.
The first setting in motion of the Wheel of Dharma occurred at Sarnath.
There he taught the four noble truths. He developed this teaching throughout his life, a teaching addressed to all. All this teaching is found with slight differences in the Pali, Chinese and Tibetan canons.
The second run of the Wheel of Dharma occurred at Vulture Peak near Rajagri (now Rajgir). He taught his most intelligent students the Prajnaparamita teachings which establish the doctrine of the Void. These teachings, too difficult for the people of that time, were to be revealed later. According to Buddhist tradition, they would have been preserved in the world from the Nagas and sent to the Nagarjunas in II E - III - th century. All the Prajnaparamita Sutras including the Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra as well as the Lotus Sutra and the Vimalakirti Sutra are attached to the second wheel. The concept of emptiness will be developed very deeply by Nagarjuna, in particular in " Root stanzas of the Middle Way" ( Prajñānāma mūla madhyamaka kārikā ).
The Buddha taught the third wheel of Dharma under the "luminous aspect of spirit" at Vaishali (in Bihar), Shravasti and Mt Malaya. There he taught Alayavijnana, the three natures, and the Tathagatagarbha i.e. Buddha nature. These are, among other things, the Lankavatara Sutra (Sutra of the Entrance to Lanka), the Tathagatagarbha Sutra (Sutra Tathagatagarbha), the Maharatnakuta Sutra (in) (Amas Jewel Sutra), the Sandhinirmochana Sutra, revealing the meaning (an) (an). ) or the Avatamsaka Sutra (Sutra with flower ornaments or flower garlands). These concepts will be developed very deeply by Asangami, among other things, in ). According to tradition, the Asanga was led by the Buddha Maitreya in the divine living Tushita (in). Upon his return, Asanga wrote down in these five treatises the teaching given to him by Buddha Maitreya.
Zhìshēng (en) (zh: 智昇, fr: Zhishang) provides further analysis of the "Three Turning Wheel of the Law" in the Catalog of Sakyamuni's Teachings of the Great Tang period of the Kaiyuan period (en: Catalog of Sakyamuni's teachings on the world Tang; zh: 大唐 開元釋教錄; pinyin: Dà Táng Kāiyuán Shìjiào Lù) or simply Kaiyuan catalog (completed in 730 AD): 1- th turning the wheel: a set of teachings forward for bodhisattvas in the Avatamsaka Sutra, garland flowers Sutra ; 2- th tour: teachings of the three sutras of the chariots of the periods of Agama, Vaipulya and Wisdom for people of lower ability who are unable to comprehend the teachings Sutras of the Garland of Flowers ; 3- th turning the wheel: the teachings of the Lotus Sutra uniting the three vehicles into the One vehicle, a catalog that Kyoko Tokuno considers "a perfect synthesis of the four hundred years of development of the Chinese form [Buddhist]] Canon.
".
Philippe Cornu specifies:
“Theravadin Buddhists accept only the first wheel sutras, the only ones that appear in the Pali Canon, while the Mahayana and Vajrayana followers accept them all. "
The second wheel of Dharma serves as the basis for the Madhyamaka founded by Nagarjuna, and the third for the Cittamatra founded by the two brothers Asanga and Vasubandhu. In general, it can be said that the Cittamātra school and the Madyamaka Shentong school believe that the third wheel is the final meaning and the second wheel is the temporal meaning and must be interpreted. For the rangtong school of Madhyamaka, and in particular for Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), the founder of the Gelugpa school, the opposite is true. This is the Madhyamika school of rangtong, which has largely dominated Tibet since the second most widespread lessons XI - th - XII - centuries, and especially with the coming to power of the Gelugpa in the XVII - th .
The Nyingmapa Dzogchen masters Longchenpa (1308-1364) and Mipham Rinpoche (1846-1912) are probably the only ones who believe that the last two wheels are decisive and that it is the synthesis of these two that gives the meaning of Mahayana.
The teachings of the second wheel of Dharma begin with a negative approach (in the sense of apophatic), the denial of everything that cannot be Truth and ultimate realization (Buddha nature, Nirvana), while the third wheel of Dharma, on the contrary, ascribes to them: positive qualities. Two examples will suffice. Nagarjuna writes in Root Verses of the Middle Way :
"Without destruction or gain, without anything that is destroyed, nothing that does not stand, without anything that ceases or does not happen, this is what is called Nirvana (25.3)"
Guy Bugo, who translated the previous text, clearly states that "it is a fact that Nagarjuna makes no positive claims in Les stanzas-root de la Voie du Moyen.
"
While Asanga writes in his Mahayanottaratantra-sastra :
“Buddhahood has two categories of qualities: a) it is uncomplicated, spontaneously accomplished and not caused by external conditions; b) she has knowledge, compassion and power (I.5). "
(in) Tokuno, Kyoko, "Assessment of Indigenous Scriptures in Chinese Buddhist Bibliographic Catalogues" in Chinese Buddhist Apocrypha , Robert E. Buswell. University of Hawaii Press, , pp. 31–74: "a perfect synthesis of the entire four hundred year development of the Chinese regular form of the canon."

624 or 623, vil. Lumbini, near the city of Kapilavastu (on the territory of modern Nepal), - 544 or 543 BC, near the city of Kushinagar (near the city of Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh). Mn. Buddhism scholars recognize other dates as 564/560–483/480 BC, ca. 460–380 BC etc. The personal name of the Buddha is Siddhartha, the family name (“surname”) is Gautama. The son of the leader of the tribe ("kingdom") of the Shakyas, who lived in the north-east of India, Shuddhodana and his wife Maya, the daughter of the leader of the neighboring tribe ("kingdom") of the Kolyas. 
The prince looks at the beggar asking for alms and understands the transience and illusory nature of wealth and nobility. And now Siddhartha is in front of the sage, immersed in contemplation. Looking at him, the prince realizes that the path of self-deepening and self-knowledge is the only way to comprehend the causes of suffering and get rid of them.

According to legend, the Buddha lived for 80 years. 
The teachings of a number of influential bud. schools number four, eight, nine and more than a thousand incarnations of the Buddha. However, in all cases, the main, basic is the “body of Dharma”.
