Hand Painted Wheel Of Life /Bhavacakra Mandala Masterpiece Original Tibetan Meditation Compassion Thangka/Thanka painting

The Thangka Painting of The Wheel of Life, or Samsara/Bhavacakra, is a hand-painted masterpiece that captures profound symbolism. It is a powerful meditation tool for Buddhist practitioners and a valuable aid for students exploring Buddha's teachings. The painting is rich in imagery and layers of wisdom, which we can explore further:

Metaphysical Diagram:
The painting features four concentric circles held by Yama, the Lord of Death, symbolizing the cyclic nature of existence. The sky with clouds or stars above the Wheel represents freedom from Samsara, and the Buddha pointing toward liberation signifies its attainability.

Three Animal Symbols:
In the central circle, three animals - pig, bird, and snake - symbolize the "Three Poisons" of ignorance, attachment, and anger. The interconnection of these symbols illustrates how attachment and anger arise from ignorance.

Wheel of Karma:
The second layer next to the central circle shows the Wheel of Karma, which portrays the law of cause and effect. Dark and light segments represent individuals experiencing the results of negative and positive actions, respectively.

Six Realms of Samsara:
The broader area is divided into six parts, each depicting a distinct realm of Samsara - humans, semi-gods, gods, hell, hungry ghosts, and animals. These realms represent the continuous cycle of birth, life, and death, each offering unique experiences and challenges.

Twelve Causal Links:
The outermost concentric ring unveils the process of cause and effect through twelve phases. Each link is depicted with symbolic imagery, offering a profound understanding of the cycle that traps beings in Samsara, from ignorance to aging and death.

Buddha/Bodhisattva Intervention:
Compassionate Buddhas or bodhisattvas strive to guide beings toward liberation within each realm. Their presence signifies the potential for enlightenment and liberation within every realm.

The teaching of Buddha:
Inscriptions at the bottom of Bhavacakra Thangka paintings elucidate the process that binds individuals to Samsara. The teachings emphasize that liberation depends on one's understanding and practice.

This Wheel of Life Thangka is not just a visual masterpiece but a profound tool for self-reflection and meditation, inviting individuals to contemplate the nature of existence and the path to liberation.
