Buddhist Bhavachakra Thangka
Introduction To The Thangka :
The Wheel of Life, or "Bhavacakra," is well recognized among Buddhist monks as a powerful meditation technique, as well as among students seeking to acquire and comprehend the Buddha's teachings.
The Wheel signifies the causes of sorrow and may be found painted on the walls of numerous Tibetan Buddhist temples across the Himalayas.
The central circle depicts "the three poisons," which are depicted by a cock (ignorance), a pig (greed), and a snake (hatred). They are encircled by the six realms of existence, which are encompassed in turn by the endless cycle of life, or samsara of the wheel.
The final thought to consider is inescapable karma - the accumulation of our acts as guided by the law of cause and effect, which decides our fate. Our acts, both positive and negative, accrue in our Karmic "account" throughout our lifetimes.
