Rare Hand Painted Wheel of Life Thangka
About Our Thangka:
In Buddhist art, the Wheel of Life, often called the Bhavachakra, is a profound and symbolic picture that captures the fundamental ideas of cyclical life, karma, and the road to liberation. It provides a striking visual representation of the Samsara cycle of rebirth, death, and rebirth that is essential to Buddhist philosophy.
The Wheel of Life, a Buddhist teaching, features a hub with a pig, snake, and rooster, symbolizing the Three Poisons of ignorance, attachment, and aversion. It represents various realms and twelve segments, each representing the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination. The wheel serves as a visual reminder of Buddhist teachings, such as the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, and helps individuals understand existence, suffering, and enlightenment.
