Description
Samsāra (Sanskrit, ) is a Buddhist term that literally means "wheel" and is commonly translated as, "cyclic existence",or "cycle of existence". Within Buddhism, samsara is defined as the continual repetitive cycle of birth and death that arises from ordinary beings' grasping and fixating on a self and experiences. Specifically, samsara refers to the process of cycling through one rebirth after another within the six realms of existence, where each realm can be understood as physical realm or a psychological state characterized by a particular type of suffering. Samsara arises out of avidya (ignorance) and is characterized by dukkha (suffering). In the Buddhist view, liberation from samsara is possible by following the Buddhist path.
The composition of this poster is like this, that in the middle is the wheel of life or in Sanskrit; Bhavachakra, that explains completely the meaning of the complex topic of Samsara.
Above it is my Style SAMSARA which is also my Writername in Graffiti. On the left is Guru Rinpoche the second Buddha of our time.
Guru Padmasambhava is the master of wisdom and skilful means who was so important in bringing the Vajrayana tradition to Tibet in the past. He founded a living tradition which is still thriving today. Known as the Lotus-Born Lord and the Precious Guru, he was and is very well known for his yogic powers which enabled him to tame all kinds of hostile beings.
Padmasambhava propagated the swift path of the adamantine vehicle for lay yogis and monks to overcome the inner obstacles of afflictive emotions and delusion and the outer obstacles of disharmony and demonic antagonism. He shows everybody who is a devoted yogi an effective path out of Samsara, the cycle of suffering.
The teachings of Guru Padmasambhava have been held purely and precisely in lineages of oral transmission, revealed treasures the terma tradition, and pure visions. Thus they remain as vital to practitioners of today as they were twelve hundred years ago.
