Wheel of Life – Samsara – Bhavacakra Thangka Painting
Explore the profound teachings of Tibetan Buddhism with the Wheel of Life – Samsara – Bhavacakra Thangka Painting. This detailed Thangka presents the Wheel of Life, a central symbol in Buddhist art that represents the endless cycle of existence known as Samsara. At the core of the painting, the wheel is driven by three animals—a pig, a snake, and a rooster—that embody the fundamental delusions of ignorance, anger, and desire. These forces propel the cycle of birth, suffering, and rebirth, illustrating the perpetual nature of Samsara.
The Thangka’s composition expands outward to reveal the six realms of existence, each depicted with exquisite detail and vibrant color. These realms include the divine realm, the human realm, the animal realm, the realm of hungry ghosts, the realm of jealous gods, and the hell realms. Each realm reflects different states of being and the fruits of past actions, providing a comprehensive view of the consequences of karma.
Encircling the six realms, the Thangka features the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, which outline the interconnected causes and conditions that perpetuate the cycle of Samsara. This section is a visual guide to understanding how ignorance and attachment lead to suffering and rebirth, emphasizing the significance of breaking free from these chains through wisdom and ethical living.
