The Wheel of Life enshrines the main Buddhist teachings on
karma, the laws of spiritual cause and effect. At the heart
of this lies the belief that the way we live our lives, what
we do and say, our good or bad conduct, results in rebirths
in one of six worlds.
The image of the Wheel of Rebirth taken from a painted scroll,
or Tangka, is used to teach about Karma and the process of
rebirth and to help people understand the meanings of these
teachings. Move your mouse over the image and click on the
