Wheel of Life and Death: Bhavachakra

with Seiso Paul Cooper

The Wheel of Life & Death​ functions as a pictorial representation of cyclic existence or “samsara.” It is comprised of a series of concentric circles that detail how the mind is structured and functions. It serves as a template for mapping out and understanding internal mental processes, the range of emotional and psychological states that contribute to our sense of identity and their behavioral manifestations that can contribute to identifying both internal and relational forms of violence, which expands our awareness and choices that in turn can contribute to non-violent and constructive responses to self and others. ​
