Original Hand-Painted Bhavachakra (Wheel of Life) Tibetan Thangka Mandala This beautiful Thangka painting depicts the Bhavachakra, also known as the Samsara Chakra Mandala or the Wheel of Life. It is one of the most symbolic and meaningful images in Buddhist art, representing the endless cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. The intricate design illustrates the six realms of existence where beings may be reborn, according to Buddhist teachings. At the top of the wheel stands Yama, the Lord of Death, holding the entire cycle within his grasp, reminding us of the inevitability of impermanence. Around the outer rim, the Twelve Nidanas (links of dependent origination) are carefully painted, showing how all things arise through cause and effect. At its core, this mandala is much more than a painting?it is a spiritual map of existence. The word mandala, from Sanskrit meaning ?circle,? symbolizes wholeness and the order of life. In this piece, it embodies the connection between the material and spiritual realms, reminding us of the interdependence of all beings and the vast universe we are part of. This Thangka invites reflection on the truths of life?birth, aging, suffering, and death?while also pointing to the possibility of liberation from the cycle of samsara. Its vivid imagery and deep symbolism make it a powerful piece for meditation, contemplation, or as a meaningful wall art for your home or meditation space.
