☛ The Wheel of Life (Bhavachakra): Symbol of Samsara
This powerful Wheel of Life Thangka, also known as Bhavachakra, serves as a profound visual teaching on the Buddhist understanding of samsara — the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth driven by karma and delusion.
At the center of the wheel, the three root poisons — ignorance (pig), attachment (bird), and aversion (snake) — turn the wheel of suffering. Surrounding them are the six realms of existence: heavenly beings, humans, animals, hungry ghosts, hell beings, and demi-gods, each reflecting a state of karmic rebirth.
This Thangka acts as a mirror of human experience, emphasizing impermanence, the nature of suffering, and the urgency to practice the Noble Eightfold Path as the way to liberation. The figure of Yama, the Lord of Death, holds the wheel, reminding us of mortality and the urgency of spiritual practice.

-
Protects and enhances the artwork.
