Legend has it that the Bhavacakra, also known as the Wheel of Life, was created by the Buddha himself. It depicts the journey of the human soul through the trappings of the Samsara (cyclic existence of life) until they are able to ascend.
The Bhavacakra is painted on the outside walls of nearly every Tibetan Buddhist temple in Tibet and India, to instruct a non-monastic audience about the Buddhist teachings.
In our interpretation we have applied the teachings of Satoshi and shown how humans are trapped in the fiat samsara and how we may escape, evolve and ascend as a species through the adoption of a bitcoin standard.
The Bhavacakra comes from the Buddhist religion but since Bitcoin is all inclusive and this piece intends to incorporate all its qualities on several different levels, we have included symbols from other religions, cultures and times in history, both classical and modern.
