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 the Lotus the symbol for Enlightenment or Nirvana in Sanskrit.
Further descriptions about Nirvana, you can find on this website:

To the right is my beloved Guru H.H. Dalai Lama, who is embodying the tradition of Guru Rinpoche in a perfect way. He is well known for his brilliant Dharma-teachings, that can alleviate every suffering on this earth, and lead every sentient being to Enlightenment or Nirvana.
This picture I did with Inkscape and Gimp.
