The Wheel of Life Thangka | Life Circle Thangka

Description :

The Wheel of Life Thangka  is the representation of the Buddhist universe which teaches the existence (Cycle of Life, Death, Rebirth, and Suffering). The wheel of Life is perhaps the most common picture of Tibetan Buddhist art and it is seen on the walls of monasteries and painted scrolls all over Tibet, India and Nepal. The various parts of the painting represent in visual terms some of the most fundamental Buddhist teachings such as the 12 steps of dependent origination, the karmic laws of cause and effect, and the three “kleshas” (mental states affecting actions) of ignorance, greed and hatred.

Basically, the wheel is divided into 5 or 6 realms. The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara appears in each of the realms to show the way from the Wheel to liberation. But liberation is only possible in the realm of man. From there, those who perceive enlightenment find their way out to Nirvana.
