The Wheel of Life, or “Bhavacakra,” is well known by Buddhist monks as a powerful meditation tool and by students to learn and understand the teachings of the Buddha. The Wheel represents the reasons for 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 a snake (hatred). They are surrounded by the six realms of existence, which are surrounded by the perpetual cycle of life, or samsara of the wheel. The third thought to contemplate is inexorable karma - the accumulation of our actions governed by the law of cause and effect, which determines our destiny. Our positive and negative actions accumulate in our Karmic “account” throughout every second of our lives.
