WHEEL OF LIFE BIG CIRCLE MANDALA OIL VARNISHED ORIGINAL TIBETAN THANGKA PAINTING

Description: This is a Buddha Life wheel of life Bhavachakra Mandala Thangka painting. This thangka depicts various activities and life cycle of Lord Buddha. This is a symbolic representation of the material world in which one is forced to take birth, get old, be in pain and die. Mandala in Sanskrit means circle. It represents wholeness and can be seen as a model for the organizational structure of life itself--a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds. Describing both material and non-material realities, the mandala appears in all aspects of life: the celestial circles we call earth, sun, and moon, as well as conceptual circles of friends, family, and community.

Images of deities can be used as teaching tools when depicting the life (or lives) of the Buddha, describing historical events concerning important Lamas, or retelling myths associated with other deities. · The Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used as mediums through which one can offer prayers or make requests.
