About the Item
This wheel of life thangka is hand painted on canvas with 24k gold. The contrast of yellow gold on black makes it a stunning art. The artist has painstakingly painted every detail work to make it a desirable piece of art.
The "Bhavachakra" or wheel of life is a symbolic representation of "Samsara" or cyclic existence. Bhava means worldly exsistence and chakra means circle/cycle.The bhavachakra consists of the following elements:
The pig, rooster and snake in the hub of the wheel represent the three poisons of ignorance, attachment and aversion.
The second layer represents karma.
The third layer represents the six realms of samsara.
The fourth layer represents the twelve links of dependent origination.
The fierce figure holding the wheel represents impermanence. It is also Yama, the god of death.
The moon above the wheel represents liberation from samsara or cyclic existence.
The Buddha pointing to the white circle indicates that liberation is possible.
Symbolically, the three inner circles, moving from the center outward, show that the three poisons of ignorance, attachment, and aversion give rise to positive and negative actions; these actions and their results are called karma. Karma in turn gives rise to the six realms, which represent the different types of suffering within samsara.
The fourth and outer layer of the wheel symbolizes the twelve links of dependent origination; these links indicate how the sources of suffering—the three poisons and karma—produce lives within cyclic existence.
The fierce being holding the wheel represents impermanence; this symbolizes that the entire process of samsara or cyclic existence is impermanent, transient, constantly changing.
A booklet on "Procedure of making a Thangka" is included with the purchase.
