    Description

    When someone asks - what does
    Samsara
    mean? The answer can be shortened to - all existences that are conditioned by: ignorance, suffering and the inexplicable flow of time.
    Often painted on the exterior walls of Buddhist monasteries, The Wheel of Life can be considered the very essence of the Buddhist philosophy as it offers insights into some of its most important concepts. It depicts and explains the cyclic nature of re-incarnation and the different aspects of our perceived reality. It also shows the importance our actions have on our existence - or what we like to call KARMA.
