Buddhism Wheel Of Life Thangka

Buddhism Wheel Of Life Thangka
The Wheel of Life (Samsara) Thangka painting also known as the "Bhavachakra," is a powerful depiction of the Buddhist concept of Samsara—the continuous cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. This intricate painting serves as both an educational tool and a meditation aid, offering a visual representation of the Buddha's teachings on the nature of existence. At the core of the Thangka is the hub of the wheel, where the three poisons—ignorance, greed, and hatred—are symbolized by a pig, snake, and rooster, respectively. These three animals are the driving forces behind the cycle of Samsara, keeping beings trapped in the cycle of suffering.
As the eye moves outward from the center, the Thangka reveals the six realms of existence, each representing different states of consciousness and experiences shaped by karma. These realms include the heavenly realm of the gods, the human realm, the realm of animals, the realm of hungry ghosts, the realm of jealous gods (asuras), and the hell realms. Each realm is depicted with rich detail, highlighting the various forms of suffering and joy that beings may experience depending on their actions in previous lives. The outermost circle of the painting depicts the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, illustrating the chain of causes and conditions that sustain the cycle of rebirth and suffering.
Perfect for meditation rooms, study areas, or as a thoughtful gift, the Wheel of Life (Samsara) Thangka Painting encourages viewers to reflect on the nature of existence and the path to spiritual liberation.
