Tibetan Thangka of the Wheel of Life | Wall Hanging
The Tibetan Thangka of the Wheel of Life invites you to explore the profound lessons of mortality and the cycle of existence. The cycle of birth, death, and rebirth as taught in Buddhist philosophy is depicted in this thangka, painted on premium cotton canvas in vivid acrylics and accented with 24K gold. Each layer of the mandala is brought to life by goldwork, which also highlights its intricate design. This thangka, made by a gifted Nepali artist, serves as a meditation aid for reflecting on the nature of life and liberation, in addition to being a stunning work of art.
The Wheel of Life, or Bhavacakra, is a central Buddhism symbol that illustrates the cycle of samsara—the endless cycle of birth, suffering, death, and rebirth. In the center of the wheel, you’ll find the three poisons of ignorance, attachment, and aversion that bind beings to suffering and the cycle of existence. Surrounding this center are various realms of existence, including the realms of gods, humans, animals, and hell-beings. The Wheel is controlled by Yama, the Lord of Death, who holds the wheel in his hands. The symbol serves as a reminder of life's impermanence and the potential for liberation through the Buddha's teachings on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.
