Description

A fascinating scholarly monograph on the famous Buddhist icon of the Wheel of Existence. Ms. Dunnington skillfully shows how the Wheel depicts the suffering of the six realms of migratory living beings, the origin of suffering, the twelve links of dependent origination, the freedom from suffering in the void place surrounding the wheel, and the path to that freedom. Seventeen color plates illustrate these foundational teachings of the Buddha.
