End of the 19th century. Xylography painted on canvas. The samsarachakra or wheel of Existence is a representation of the different possibilities of rebirth offered to the fidele according to the merits or demerites he has accumulated during his many lives. This type of wheel, in the hub of which appear three animals symbolizing the three poisons generating the sequence in the samsara ??a pig (ignorance), a rooster or a pigeon (anger), a snake (desir) ??seems like enclosing in the mouth and claws of a monster appearing in Yama, the Lord of Death.); Photo by Sylvain Collet; Tibetan, out of copyright.
