The Wheel of Samsara

Description

Created in 2024

Painted to illustrate the cycle of rebirth, or cycle of continued suffering caused by the attachment of desire and our karmic residue. Intended to provide consideration of choices, hope in escaping from darkness, and to point the way toward ascension.

Desire is necessary for life and creation in this world. When pursued without awareness it causes suffering and will always cause a new desire to appear, as in Buddhism’s hungry ghost that can never be fulfilled. Desire when approached mindfully, consciously, and without attachment, is a wonderful gift for achieving our purpose: experiencing the rapture of life, bringing our gifts to fruition, providing love, and the expansion of consciousness.

Cleanse your mind of emotional trauma. Forgive everyone including yourself. Act only in love. Be cognizant to not pursue unhealthy desires. Avoid the dangers of this world including negative people and losing compassion. In that way you can get off the Wheel of Samsara.
