☛ Wheel of Life: Brief Introduction
The Wheel of Life, or Bhavachakra, is a profound Buddhist depiction of the cycle of existence. It illustrates the interconnected nature of birth, aging, sickness, death, and rebirth, emphasizing the role of karma in shaping one’s future life. At its center, the three poisons—ignorance, attachment, and aversion—drive the cycle of suffering. The outer rim portrays the six realms of existence: the heavenly, human, animal, hungry ghost, hell, and god realms, each representing a different state of rebirth based on past actions. The Wheel of Life serves as a powerful visual teaching on impermanence, suffering, and the Buddhist path to liberation through mindfulness, ethical conduct, and wisdom.
☛ Use of Real Gold
This Wheel of Life thangka is adorned with real gold, an ancient Tibetan Buddhist technique used to enhance its sacred beauty. Gold is carefully ground into fine dust and mixed with a special binding agent to create a paintable form. This mixture is then meticulously applied to the thangka, adding a luminous, divine touch to the artwork. The use of real gold not only enriches its aesthetic appeal but also reflects the deep spiritual significance and reverence associated with thangka paintings.
☛ Introduction to Thangka
A thangka, also known as tangka, thanka, or tanka, is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting that visually conveys spiritual teachings. Created with intricate detail on cotton or silk appliqué, thangkas depict a variety of sacred subjects, including Buddhist deities, mandalas, and religious narratives. Unlike framed paintings, thangkas are designed to be rolled up for storage, preserving their integrity over time. To protect these delicate artworks, they are mounted on fabric backings and often feature a silk cover. Proper storage in a dry environment is essential to maintain their longevity and vibrancy.
