Wheel of Life, Thanka

The wheel of life is the circle of human being. It is done on cotton canvas. The color is of stone which is brought from the LASA. At first we grind it and then make it powder and mix with water and use in painting. The shining portion in the Thanka is real 24 karate gold. It becomes attractive when it is focused on light. There are three circles in the wheel of life; the outer circle is for 12 different activities of human being which is the most important part of life which are as follows:

• Birth: At first the human being gets birth from their mother’s womb.
• Growing: It needs some appropriate condition for growing.
• Desire: It needs some feeling to desire.
• Appropriate condition: Desire is needed for it.
• Feeling: It is needed for contact between male and female to feel good or bad.
• Contact: It is needed for the development of sense organs.
• Sense organs: It plays very important role in our life.
• Movement of mental and physical: Consciousness is needed for it.
• Elementary Impulse: It can make to achieve enlightenment.
• Consciousness: Elementary impulse is need for it.
• Ignorance: It is a source of pain.
• Death: It is the last stage of human beings.

In the second circle, we can find six different activities which is the most important part of human life. The top for heaven; The right side for earth; The left side for Nirvana; The down right side for animal life; The down left side for hungry ghosts; The last is for hell.

In the inner circles, we can find three different animals that represent different things. The bird represents jealousness, snake represents angriness and the pig represents laziness. If we have these types of feeling with in our heart then we cannot go to heaven but fall down in the hell. So we should avoid these feelings from our body. We can compare this with universe which is controlled by the great god Bhairab. The god is holding the whole universe with his teeth.  The god is the angry manifestation of Lord Shiva. We can find five different skulls on his head which represents air, water, land, light and sky. After the death of human being the soul mixes in air, water, land, light and sky.
