Bhavacakra
The bhavacakra (Sanskrit; Pāli: ''bhavacakka''; Tibetan: ''srid pa'i 'khor lo'') is a symbolic representation of saṃsāra (or cyclic existence) found on the outside walls of Tibetan Buddhist temples and monasteries in the Indo-Tibetan region. In the Mahayana Buddhism, it is believed that the drawing was designed by the Buddha himself in order to help ordinary people understand Buddhist teachings.
The bhavacakra is popularly referred to as the ''wheel of life'', and may also be glossed as ''wheel of cyclic existence'' or ''wheel of becoming''.
==Origin==
Legend has it that the historical Buddha himself created the first depiction of the bhavacakra, and the story of how he gave the illustration to King Rudrāyaṇa appears in the anthology of Buddhist narratives called the ''Divyāvadāna''.
The bhavacakra is painted on the outside walls of nearly every Tibetan Buddhist temple in Tibet and India.〔Dalai Lama (1992), p. 1〕 Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche states:
