At the heart of Tibetan Buddhism, the Wheel of Life beautifully represents the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. The captivating painting on a thangka features Yama, the Lord of Death, which gently reminds us of the inevitability of death. Within the wheel, we can see the three poisons—ignorance, attachment, and aversion—highlighted as the root causes of suffering. The second ring draws our attention to karma, illustrating how beings rise and fall based on their actions. Additionally, the painting portrays the six realms of existence, each offering its blend of suffering and pleasure. The outer rim showcases the twelve nidanas, or links of dependent origination, presenting the chain of causation that leads to the cycle of samsara.
This powerful depiction serves as a visual teaching tool, highlighting the fleeting nature of life and the importance of our spiritual journey. By bringing the rich symbolism and vibrant colors of a Wheel of Life thangka into your space, you create a focal point that invites understanding and self-reflection.
