Description
Wheel of Life
This Bhavachakra thangka painting(also Wheel of Life) is an original handpainted Tibetan art, characterized by blue background color and different Buddhas are depicted in each realm. Lord Yama has a grey color and he holds the wheel with both his hands by the two sides. The Wheel of Life or “Bhavachakra” 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.
According to the ancient texts, the original model for the Wheel of life was painted over the gateway of the Veluvana Bihara at Rajagriha on the instructions of the Buddha himself, who indicated exactly how the work should be done. The Buddha was inspired by the activities of one of his chief disciples Maudgalyayana ..
