Samsara Mandala | Antique Wheel of Life

This antique Wheel of Life Thangka painting is a rare, hand-painted treasure from our private collection, preserved for over decades. Also known as the Bhavachakra, this powerful image serves as a spiritual roadmap to understanding the Buddhist view of existence, karma, and rebirth. Painted with natural pigments and aged gracefully, this piece carries a timeless presence. 

At its center are the three poisons—ignorance, attachment, and aversion—represented by a pig, rooster, and snake. These drive the six realms of existence that encircle them. The outer ring illustrates the twelve links of dependent origination, showing how suffering continues from life to life. The fearsome figure of Yama, the Lord of Death, holds the wheel, reminding us that all conditioned things are impermanent.
