Sacred Thangka of the Wheel of Life | Wall Hanging
A profound teaching unfolds in the Sacred Thangka of the Wheel of Life, a meticulously hand-painted artwork on premium cotton canvas, using acrylic colors and finished with genuine 24K gold. The pigments are carefully layered to bring clarity to the complex scenes, while gold detailing enhances symbolic elements and sacred figures with subtle radiance. As a sacred Thangka of the Wheel of Life, this piece holds deep significance in Buddhist tradition, serving as a visual teaching that reveals the nature of existence, karma, and liberation. Painted in the traditional style by a skilled Nepali artist, the thangka reflects high artistic quality, precision, and devotion to authentic iconography.
The Wheel of Life, or Bhavachakra, is a key Buddhist visual teaching that depicts the cycle of samsara—birth, death, and rebirth — driven by ignorance, desire, and aversion. Teachers use it to explain the origin of suffering and how wisdom and awareness lead to liberation, reminding practitioners that conditioned existence is impermanent, and that true freedom comes from understanding mind and action. In this thangka, the Wheel, held by a figure symbolizing impermanence, shows the six realms and twelve links of dependent origination, guiding viewers through samsara. At the center, the three poisons trigger the cycle. Chenrezig and a Buddha figure beside the wheel symbolize compassion and wisdom, offering a path beyond suffering, emphasizing that liberation is possible through compassion, insight, and practice.
