The Buddhist Wheel of Life Thangka | Guide to Samsara and Liberation

Description

The Buddhist Wheel of Life Thangka Depicting the Cycles of Existence & the Path to Nirvana

The Buddhist Wheel of Life Thangka offers a deep and respected visual journey through the cycle of Samsara, illustrating the continuous process of birth, death, and reincarnation. Diligently enhanced with authentic 24K gold accents and hand-painted with acrylics, this Thangka represents the Buddha's timeless teachings, serving as both a stunning piece of art and a source of spiritual guidance.

At the center of the wheel, the pig, bird, and snake symbolize the three poisons: ignorance, attachment, and anger, illustrating how these emotions bind individuals to the cycle of suffering. Our suffering arises from these poisons, and their continuous interplay entraps us in the process of reincarnation. Surrounding this is the second ring, which signifies the law of cause and effect, or karma. The darker half of this segment represents the results of negative actions, leading to suffering and lower states of being, whereas the brighter half reflects the outcomes of virtuous acts, which elevate existence to higher realms.

The larger section of the wheel represents the six realms of existence: animals, hell, semi-gods, gods, humans, and hungry ghosts. Through the human realm, the Buddha taught that individuals can transcend suffering and attain freedom, creating a path for spiritual practice and growth. Each realm symbolizes unique states of being. The wheel's outermost ring illustrates the twelve links of dependent origination, demonstrating the origins of suffering and ways to cease it. These links reveal the interconnectivity of life, showing how ignorance, attachment, and craving contribute to our cycle of suffering, leading from ignorance to aging and death.

With 24K gold highlights applied to crucial features of the artwork, such as the Buddha's figure and symbolic motifs, this Thangka is both a powerful meditation tool and a bright statement of wisdom. The golden accents glow brightly, illuminating the spiritual teachings and providing a glimpse of the divine light that leads out of Samsara.

      I received the thangka very quickly in beautiful condition. It was very carefully wrapped in multiple protective layers, many thanks to Enlightenment Thangka for their care. The thangka itself is beautifully done, printed on canvas with meticulous attention to detail. Very much looking forward to getting it framed and on the wall!

      I had a wonderful experience buying a Thangka from Enlightenment Thangka. The quality of their products is top-notch, delivery was quick, the staff were very friendly, and the packaging was excellent. I highly recommend them and am already looking forward to placing my next order.

      Such a beautiful thangka. It carries many blessings. The image itself is masterfully painted with great devotion. The brochade fabric quality is incredibly high and it is sewn with great skill and care. The thangka on the left was also purchased from “Enlightenment Thangka” a couple of years ago and it is also of this same high quality as the Guru Rinpoche in the right. I cannot recommend these people enough. Beautiful devoted work.

      Is a long waiting lesson I’ve been looking forward. For someone totally new, this is really an amazing experience to explore your hidden talent in Thangka drawing. I’m grateful the Enlightenment Thangka team’s great coordination to make this happened, the Thangka master, Nyam la that patiently guided me through my journey. He was very patience to explain every single line during the lesson, he puts things in a very simple way, never rush on me. Yet, he spent time to looking into my drawing upon my submission. He also sending back his feedback in details to further guiding me to perfect the drawing line.

      The master and team encouragements truly keeping my momentum to perfecting my drawing. This amazing journey had let me experiencing my inner peace, the hidden talent I’ve never knew, part of my spiritual journey. I will definitely will keep continuing my journey with them in future to fulfill my dream.

      Sharing my in progress Thangka artwork. ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ། 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

      Very nice and warm shopping experience. The statue is firmly packed and protected during transport. Looking forward to my next order!

      Although Tangton Gyalpo is a major Lama, it is not easy to find tankhas depicting him. This one is just perfect.

      Excellent service and beautiful products!

      Excellent service and beautiful products!

      Magnifique Thangka ! Un excellent support pour ma pratique, cette thangka est très inspirante. Les dimensions impressionnante 2,40m x 1,60 donnent beaucoup force à l'ensemble !
      Service client au top et livraison super rapide ! Merci !

      It arrived today and exceeded all expectations. It's perfect!

      Quality brocade. Intricate design and mounted well. This silk weave has the heavier, sturdier, “rougher” feel to it than its smoother, shinier sibling.

      Personally, this experience has been a memorable one as I've got to learn from an actual thangka master and teacher himself. The entire three day experience has been nothing short of mesmerizing and sacred. If your intuition is calling you to pursue this, please do not pass off this special opportunity to learn from the one of the sources of authentic thangka painting for this experience is a heartwarming one.

      Amazingly beautiful brocade!

      very beautiful and made of quality material.

      Beautiful thangka...you did a good job, you have to see it to believe it.
      The delicate lines, the refreshing colors are just incredible. A thangka that represents us corresponds to the name of the refuge that a very GREAT master gave us

      Amizing

      Hi Neelam,
      Thank you for the email AND I apologize as the Thanka has not arrived yet! Looks like it is in Bahrain waiting to move or has already left Bahrain and is headed to SF. Will let you know when it is delivered!
      all blessings,
      louise venetucci

      Beautiful, high-quality print, at a modest price, free and fast delivery. Kind of perfect, overall. Thank you!

      This Yeshe Tsogyal Thangka is absolutely gorgeous ... I couldn't be happier! ... Thank you for all of your efforts on my behalf and the meticulous attention to detail in finishing this beautiful piece.
