The Wheel of Life (Bhavacakra) represents the cycle of samsara (birth, death, and rebirth) and the interplay of karma that governs existence. Each segment of the wheel depicts different realms of reality and the causes of suffering, serving as a visual guide for reflection on impermanence, ethical action, and the path to liberation. The wheel is held by Yama, the Lord of Death, who is depicted with three eyes and a five-skull crown, symbolizing his supreme awareness and authority. Yama’s grasp of the wheel signifies his total control over life and death, reminding practitioners of the inevitability of mortality and the importance of spiritual cultivation. The central hub, spokes, and outer rim illustrate the forces that propel beings through samsara, encouraging mindfulness, ethical living, and spiritual growth.
