In Tibetan Buddhism, the Wheel of Life thangka is a picture that symbolizes the cyclical nature of life, death, and reincarnation. It depicts various spheres of life and the forces that keep people trapped in a never-ending cycle of pain. This meditation art has six regions, each symbolizing a different way of existing, surrounding a center core with symbolic creatures that stand in for the three poisons. The outer rim highlights the interdependence of life by illuminating the twelve connections of dependent origination.
The Wheel of Life is a meditative instrument that promotes meditation on the fleeting and unfulfilling quality of life on Earth. By cultivating awareness of impermanence and the pursuit of enlightenment, practitioners use it to expand their understanding of the road to liberation.
