EDITORS COMMENTS
This Tibetan painting of the wheel of transmigratory existence offers a vivid depiction of the complex cycle of life and rebirth. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the spiritual concepts deeply rooted in Tibetan Buddhism. The circular chart is divided into distinct sections, each representing a different realm within this cosmic journey. Starting from the top and moving clockwise, we encounter powerful Gods with their divine attributes, followed by Demigods who possess both human and godly qualities. As we descend further, tormented spirits symbolize suffering and anguish, while hells depict realms of intense punishment. Continuing along this profound wheel, animals represent various forms taken by beings during their earthly existence before reaching the central core. Here lies a snake, pig, and cockerel – symbolic representations associated with desire, ignorance, and aggression respectively. Through this visual representation of transmigration's hierarchy, one can contemplate humanity's place within this vast system. It serves as a reminder that our actions have consequences which determine our future experiences in subsequent lives. This remarkable artwork not only showcases the artistic prowess but also acts as an important teaching tool for those seeking enlightenment in Tibetan Buddhism. Its rich symbolism invites viewers to ponder upon the complexities of existence while striving towards spiritual growth on their own personal journeys through life's ever-turning wheel.
