Buddhist Wheel of Life ~ Cloth Print
For centuries the Wheel of Life has been used as a pictorial teaching aid. It depicts the cycle of worldly states of existence. The drawings symbolize the self-perpetuating process of delusion. At its center are the animals representing the root causes of conditioned existence: ignorance, desire, and aversion. The next ring depicts the successive rising and falling action of Karma. Sentient beings revolve endlessly among the six realms (humans, hungry ghosts, hell beings, animals and demigods and gods), shown in the large circle. The outermost circle depicts the twelve phases of dependent origination (nidanas), links in the causal chain of cause and effect which governs existence. The entire Wheel of Life is in the grasp of Yama, Lord of Death. At the upper right, away from the endless circle stands a Bodhisattva who points toward another wheel: the Wheel of Dharma, representing the teachings of liberation. This serigraph print on 100% cotton fabric is 12"x 16", printed with blue color waterproof nontoxic ink. The pictures on the print are clear and detailed.
