Wheel of Life Buddhist Painting
The Wheel of Life or “Bhavacakra” is well known by Buddhist monks as a powerful meditation tool and also by students to learn and understand the teachings of the Buddha.
The Wheel represents the very reasons of suffering and it can be seen painted on the walls of many Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in all Himalayan regions.
The center circle illustrates “the three poisons,”represented by a cock (ignorance), a pig (greed), and snake (hatred). They are surrounded by the six realms of existence , which are in turn surrounded by the perpetual cycle of life, or samsara of wheel.
The third thought to contemplate is inexorable karma - the accumulation of our actions as governed by the law of cause and effect which determines our destiny . Our actions, both positive and negative , accumulate in our Karmic “account” throughout every second of our lives.
