Product Description
Contemplate the profound cycles of existence with this masterfully hand-painted Gold Wheel of Life (Bhavachakra) Thangka. Rendered in shimmering gold ink against a deep black and midnight-blue canvas, this intricate work of art depicts the entire Buddhist cosmology held within the firm grip of Yama, the Lord of Death, who symbolizes the impermanence of all worldly things.
At the center of the wheel, the three poisons—ignorance, attachment, and aversion—are represented by a pig, a bird, and a snake, driving the endless cycle of rebirth. The surrounding sections detail the six realms of existence, from the heavenly dwellings of the gods to the arduous lower realms, all rendered with exquisite golden line-work. The outer rim illustrates the twelve links of dependent origination, explaining how we remain bound to cyclic existence. This Thangka is a luxurious and intellectually stimulating masterpiece, serving as both a powerful teaching tool and a sophisticated focal point for spiritual reflection and home decor.

CONSECRATION OF PRODUCT
For requests for consecrations/blessings, we can take the thangka to monasteries or Rinpoches from the nearby Boudha Stupa. We kindly ask you to offer $30 for the monasteries for blessings/consecration services.
Natural Colors in Thangka
All the colors used in the thankgas are made from natural minerals. Ground into pigments, they carry the essence of the earth. Unlike artificial colors, these natural tones shine with honesty, adding depth, life, and spiritual meaning to each canvas.
