Buddhist Art: The Wheel of Life
with Vieslav Krystyan
“Even if we contemplate deeply the most sublime works of art, we cannot gain benefits that compare with the benefits of contemplating and meditating on the diagram of the Wheel of Life, because this diagram reveals the complete path to enlightenment.”
- Joyful Path of Good Fortune by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
The Wheel of Life is a beautiful piece of Buddhist art, inspired by Buddha himself, that illustrates the complete path to enlightenment.
Within it are Buddha’s teachings on the Four Noble Truths, showing us what we need to understand, abandon, practise, and attain in order to find true and lasting happiness.
It also depicts the Twelve Dependent-Related Links — a chain of cause and effect that reveals how we become bound within samsaric suffering.
This course will offer a practical and contemplative tour of the Wheel of Life, showing how we can use this powerful diagram to inspire our meditations and guide us along the spiritual path.
During the morning break, complimentary refreshments, tea, coffee, and snacks will be available in our community room - a relaxed opportunity to rest, ask questions, and connect with others.
The Temple shop will be open throughout the day, offering books and meditation resources to support your practice.
Everyone is welcome.
