This FBA Dharmabyte is an excerpt from a 1971 talk by Sangharakshita called 'A Mirror in the Wheel'. The Wheel of Life, described here in all its wealth of detail, is not really a painting but a mirror, giving one successively more profound insights into yourself, and revealing the next step in escaping the endless round.
From the talk 'The Symbolism of the Tibetan Wheel of Life' from the series Creative Symbols of the Tantric Path to Enlightenment.
