Puthichakra

Puthichakra is a traditional Buddhist diagram representing the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara). It depicts how beings are continuously reborn based on their actions (karma) and intentions, experiencing suffering and pleasures until they attain enlightenment. The diagram often includes various realms of existence—such as heaven, human, animal, and hell worlds—illustrating the different states of life. It serves as a visual tool to understand the importance of ethical conduct, meditation, and wisdom in escaping the cycle and achieving spiritual liberation (nirvana).
