The Wheel of Life: A Profound Symbol of Existence
The Wheel of Life (Sanskrit: Bhavachakra) is a powerful Buddhist depiction of samsara, the endless cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. This intricate Thangka visually illustrates:
✔ The Three Poisons (Ignorance, Attachment, and Aversion) at the center, driving the cycle of suffering
✔ The Six Realms of Existence—Heavenly, Human, Animal, Hungry Ghost, Hell, and God realms—determined by karma
✔ The Outer Rim, portraying the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, explaining the causes of suffering and rebirth
The Wheel of Life is a profound spiritual teaching, serving as a reminder of the impermanence of life and the path to liberation through mindfulness, wisdom, and ethical living.
Use of Real Gold in Thangka Painting
This Wheel of Life Thangka is adorned with real gold, applied using an ancient Tibetan Buddhist technique:
✔ Gold is ground into fine dust
✔ Mixed with a special adhesive
✔ Carefully applied by master artists to enhance the sacred essence
This meticulous process brings luminosity, depth, and a spiritual glow to the artwork.
Introduction to Thangka Art
A Thangka (also spelled Tangka, Thanka, or Tanka) is a Tibetan Buddhist painting meticulously crafted on cotton or silk appliqué. These sacred artworks depict:
✔ Buddhist deities & teachings
✔ Mandalas & cosmic symbols
✔ Stories from Buddhist scriptures
Thangkas are traditionally unframed and rolled for storage, resembling ancient scrolls. To preserve their delicate beauty, they are mounted on fabric backings and often include a silk cover. Proper storage in a dry environment ensures their longevity.
This Wheel of Life Thangka is a masterpiece of Buddhist philosophy, perfect for meditation spaces, spiritual teachings, and personal collections.
