Ĭontemporary scholar Jeffrey Hopkins states: So these images on the Wheel of Life are just to communicate to the general audience. One of the reasons why the Wheel of Life was painted outside the monasteries and on the walls (and was really encouraged even by the Buddha himself) was to teach this very profound Buddhist philosophy of life and perception to more simple-minded farmers or cowherds. Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche states: The wheel of life is painted on the outside walls of nearly every Tibetan Buddhist temple in Tibet and India.

It can be helpful sometimes to see an outside perception of your life ‘balance’. Another option with this exercise is that they can ask someone who knows them well to complete the scores for them.You can do this with them, or recommend they do it for themselves So, a regular check on how balanced the client is can highlight useful patterns and help them learn even more about ourselves.
