Metaphysical Diagram:
The painting features four concentric circles held by Yama, the Lord of Death, symbolizing the cyclic nature of existence. The sky with clouds or stars above the Wheel represents freedom from Samsara, and the Buddha pointing toward liberation signifies its attainability and instills a profound sense of hope and inspiration in the viewer, reminding them that liberation is within reach.

Three Animal Symbols:
In the central circle, three animals-a pig, a bird, and a snake-symbolize the 'Three Poisons' of ignorance, attachment, and anger, which are fundamental to Buddhist teachings. The interconnection of these symbols illustrates how attachment and anger arise from ignorance.

Wheel of Karma:
The second layer, next to the central circle, shows the Wheel of Karma, a fundamental Buddhist concept that portrays the law of cause and effect. Dark and light segments represent individuals experiencing the results of negative and positive actions, respectively.

Six Realms of Samsara:
The broader area is divided into six parts, each depicting a distinct realm of Samsara - humans, semi-gods, gods, hell, hungry ghosts, and animals. These realms represent the continuous cycle of birth, life, and death, each offering unique experiences and challenges.

Twelve Causal Links:
The outermost concentric ring unveils the process of cause and effect through twelve phases, known as the 'Twelve Causal Links '. Each link is depicted with symbolic imagery, offering a profound understanding of the cycle that traps beings in Samsara, from ignorance to aging and death.

Buddha/Bodhisattva Intervention:
Compassionate Buddhas or bodhisattvas, present in every realm, tirelessly strive to guide beings toward liberation. Their presence is a beacon of hope, signifying the potential for enlightenment and freedom in every realm. This powerful message empowers you to believe that liberation is not a distant dream but a tangible possibility within your grasp.

The teaching of Buddha:
Inscriptions at the bottom of Bhavacakra Thangka's paintings reveal the process that binds individuals to Samsara. The teachings underscore that liberation is not a distant dream but a possibility within our grasp, depending on our understanding and practice.

This Wheel of Life Thangka is a visual masterpiece and a profound tool for self-reflection and meditation. It invites individuals to contemplate the nature of existence and the path to liberation.
