The Wheel of Life (Bhavacakra) Gold Thangka | Eternal Cycle of Life
The Wheel of Life Thangka (Bhavacakra) represents the intricate Buddhist depiction of Samsara, the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. This exceptional work of art is fully embellished with gold on a black canvas, showcasing the profound intricacies of the teachings on suffering and liberation.
In this detailed composition, the central image depicts Yama, the lord of death, holding the wheel with the six realms of existence portrayed around him. The wheel symbolizes the cyclical nature of existence, with each section illustrating one of the realms of Samsara, including the realms of gods, humans, asuras (demi-gods), animals, hungry ghosts, and hell beings.
Above the wheel are serene Buddhas and enlightened figures, embodying liberation and enlightenment, offering guidance beyond the cycles of rebirth. The figures of Buddha Shakyamuni and other key figures appear around the wheel, guiding the practitioners towards liberation through spiritual awakening.
The gold on the black canvas enhances the dramatic and rich detail of this piece. The artwork is mounted in a traditional brocade frame, contributing to its elegance and reverence in Buddhist art. The use of pure gold highlights the cosmic nature of the teaching, emphasizing the spiritual journey and the importance of attaining Nirvana.
This Thangka serves as both a vivid religious artifact and an outstanding collector's item. Its intricate craftsmanship, coupled with the deep symbolism it embodies, renders it a timeless treasure for any Buddhist practitioner or collector of sacred art.
