Wheel of Life; 生死輪, 六道輪迴圖, 有輪;  Tibetan: སྲིད་པའི་འཁོར་ལོ (sipa khorlo); Wylie: srid pa’i ‘khor lo; Sanskrit: Bhavacakra;

Bhavacakra, the wheel of Life, said to be designed by Buddha himself, is the Buddhist representation of the samsaric cycle of existence:

• The center of the wheel represents the three poisons: ignorance, attachment and aversion (pig, rooster and snake)
• The second layer represents karma
• The third layer represents the six realms of samsara
• The fourth layer represents the 12 links of interdependent origination: from ignorance, birth, old age to death
• Yama, the fierce being holding the wheel represents impermanence
• The brightly shining moon at the top represents liberation from samsara
• The Buddha pointing to the moon indicates liberation is possible through dharma practice.

生死輪來自釋迦牟尼佛陀教誨眾生在輪中流轉不息:

• 中央鴿蛇豬表貪嗔癡三毒
• 第二層因果
• 第三層六道有情眾生
• 第四層十二因緣: 無明乃至老死
• 死主閻羅王，無常大鬼抱住有輪
• 天上皎潔光明的月亮代表解脫
• 佛指月亮啟示行者可憑修行佛法解脫
