Oil Varnished Wheel Of Life Thangka
Introduction To The Thangka :
The Wheel of Life depicts the core of Buddhism's Four Truths: the presence of worldly suffering, its origin and cause, the practicing route to freedom from suffering, and its conclusion.
This amazing thangka artwork depicts the origins and consequences of evil, image by picture. The metaphor reminds us that everyone is always judge and accountable for his or her own fate, because causes and their repercussions are the products of our own acts, according to Karma.
Yama, painted in red/pink in this thangka, represents fate by holding the wheel in his claws at the very top. The backdrop is orange, and each world depicts a different Buddha.
