The Wheel of Life

The wheel of life is the Bhavachakra, or how Buddhists view the universe. It is a very complex picture. To the Buddhist, living is a cycle of life death suffering and rebirth. The wheel of life is a wheel with six parts in which the soul will be reborn, the wheel is held by a demon.




The wheel of life is a key concept in buddhism because it helps you to see where you might be reincarnated. It is a visual representation of what will or might happen after you die. It is a representation of Sansara so a buddhist can see the cycle.
