In this upcoming season of AWAKEN, we’re exploring a painting of the Wheel of Life, also known as the Wheel of Existence, one of Tibetan Buddhism’s most powerful teaching tools, and the centerpiece of this season’s journey.
Beyond its traditional spiritual teachings, the Wheel of Life can also provide lessons for everyday citizens facing a changing world.
This artwork shows the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, revealing how our actions shape our realities — both now and in lifetimes to come. 🌀
At its center are the “three poisons” — attachment, anger, and ignorance — driving the endless loop of suffering. But look closely, and you’ll find the Buddha, pointing to the way out.
What can this timeless symbol teach us about waking up in today’s world?
Find out in AWAKEN Season 5, dropping on 8/19! Head to the link in our bio to listen to the full trailer or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
