Hand drawn exquisite thangka "Wheel of Life" (Reincarnation) | Tibetan Buddhist Dharma thangka

The Wheel of Life Thangka is painted on cotton canvas using traditional Tibetan techniques, relying on the natural beauty of its material. Rich blue, intense red, and golden yellow, complemented by soft green and white, create a vibrant and harmonious atmosphere. The centre of the screen displays the Wheel of Life (six mirror images of bronze), tightly held by the fierce Grim Reaper Yama. His angry red face, three eyes, and skull crown symbolize impermanence. His claws tightly gripped the wheel, depicting the six cycles of reincarnation, surrounded by a complex landscape of mountains, rivers, and temples.

The sky blue and swirling clouds form the background, framing this cycle narrative and drawing attention to the centre of the roulette wheel, where there is a pig, a snake, and a rooster, symbolizing the ignorance, anger, and greed that drive the cycle. The artist's exquisite brushwork and meticulous imagery showcase the outstanding skills of Thangka art.

As an important teaching tool in Tibetan Buddhism, this work guides meditation and rituals, inspiring reflection on suffering and liberation. Its profound visual narrative and authentic craftsmanship attract collectors and practitioners, making them feel its spiritual depth and eternal charm.

This thangka is not only a collectible artwork, but also a tool (artifact) to assist practitioners.
