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 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.

Our actions, both positive and negative , accumulate in our Karmic “account” throughout every second of our lives. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Size: 19"/ 48 cm (width) x 24"/ 60 cm (height) Materials: Cotton Canvas, Acrylic Colors, Genuine 24K Gold ------------------------------------------------------------------
