Buddha Wheel Of Life Painting
The Wheel of Life Thangka painting known as the "Bhavachakra" in Tibetan Buddhism, is a profound piece of spiritual art that vividly represents the cycle of existence, or Samsara. This intricate painting captures the essence of Buddhist teachings, making it not just a beautiful decorative piece, but also a deep meditation tool. The painting is divided into multiple layers, each symbolizing different aspects of the human condition and the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. At the very center of the Wheel are three animals—a pig, a snake, and a rooster—representing ignorance, hatred, and desire, the root causes of suffering in Buddhist philosophy.
This Thangka is more than just an art piece; it is a visual representation of the path to liberation from the cycles of suffering. Traditionally used in meditation and teaching, the Wheel of Life Thangka serves as a powerful reminder of the impermanence of life and the importance of seeking enlightenment. The painting is framed in a traditional brocade silk border, enhancing its beauty and preserving its integrity. Perfect for a meditation space, living room, or as a meaningful gift, this Thangka is a timeless representation of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom.
This Wheel of Life Thangka Painting is a 100% hand-painted painting that is painted on a cotton canvas using natural stone colors and 24K Gold powder.
This beautiful Thangka painting depicts the remarkable detail of The Wheel of Transmigration, also known as the Wheel of Life, The Wheel of Samsara, or the Bhavacakra.
This sacred image represents the eternal cycle of life and death, including the cycle of reincarnation which all of humanity is born into.
It is this repeating cycle which the Buddha taught us we can escape from using the noble eightfold path in order to reach Nirvana.
The eight components of this path are right view, right resolve, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and samadhi, or meditative absorption.

“All the elements of a Tibetan religious painting have a symbolic value. These symbols serve as aids to developing inner qualities on the spiritual path. The deities themselves are regarded as representing particular characteristics of enlightenment. For example, Manjushri embodies wisdom, and Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) embodies compassion. Paying respect to such deities, therefore, has the effect of paying respect to wisdom and compassion, which in turn functions as an inspiration to acquire those qualities within ourselves.” - Dalai Lama from “The Mystical Arts of Tibet”
