The wheel of life in Buddhism



By Victor M Fontane


In the center of the wheel of life there are three animals: a pig, a snake and a rooster which present our afflictive emotions or poisons. 


The snake represents attachment and passion. If you want suffering in life all you have to do is get attached or cling to something. The rooster represents anger. And the pig represents ignorance. 


The white part of the wheel represents positive incarnations where you overcome these poisons and the black or dark one represents the fall in the evolutionary process if you do not overcome them.


Because most people don’t know their mind falls on the trap of it denying their poisons, like: “I don’t have anger, I’m smart, I’m not attached living in the illusion of their experiences. Not knowing the ultimate reality of all experiences they are slave of their mind. 

So, the solution is retraining the mind in order to be mindful and become masters of our mind.
