The Bhavachakra or the Wheel of Life is one of the most important symbols in Buddhism. It is based on the teachings of Buddha Siddhartha Gautama and represents the whole world we live in along with rebirth (samsara) and enlightenment (nirvana). The Bhavachakra shows various Buddhist concepts through its complex images and symbols; so that people could understand how they are related to each other and why we suffer from them.

Origin and Development of BhavachakraIf we want to know more about what Bhavachakra means then it’s necessary to go back into ancient India where Gautam Buddha lived between 6th -4th century BCE. As per Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths which tell about suffering i.e., dukkha; its causes; ways to stop it permanently and path leading towards that end. Samsara – cycle birth-death-rebirth due to karma, a moral cause-and effect law is another key idea within this system.

The wheel of life started off as a didactic device meant for illustrating these deep truths. It was first mentioned in early Buddhist texts as well displayed by art works found around old stupas & temples all across India. But over time various schools & sects added their own interpretations thereby making it even more diverse throughout Asia.

"Nainaṁ chhindanti śhastrāṇi nainaṁ dahati pāvakaḥ
Na chainaṁ kledayantyāpo na śhoṣhayati mārutaḥ"

Translation in English:

"The soul can never be cut into pieces by any weapon, nor can it be burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind."

Meaning in Hindi:

"यह आत्मा किसी भी शस्त्र से कटाई नहीं होती, आग से जलाई नहीं जाती, पानी से भीगाई नहीं जाती और हवा से सूखाई नहीं जाती।"
