The Bhavacakra (Sanskrit; Pali: भभचक्क bhavacakka; Tibetan: སྲིད་པའི་འཁོར་ལོ་ srid pa'i 'khor lo; Devanagari: भवचक्र) is a symbolic representation of saṃsāra (or cyclic existence) found on the outside walls of Tibetan Buddhist temples and monasteries in the Indo-Tibet region. In the Mahayana Buddhist tradition, it is believed that the drawing was designed by the Buddha himself in order to help ordinary people understand the Buddhist teachings.
