The Wheel of Life is a representation of the Buddhist teaching on the suffering and impermanence of cyclic existence.
Dalai Lama of Tibet, the Winner of the Nobel Piece Prize, explains the
differences between the Buddhist and Western approaches to life, "In modern
Western society, there seems to be a powerful cultural conditioning that is
based on science.
But in some instances, the basic premises and parameters
set up by Western science can limit your ability to deal with certain
realities. For instance, you have the constraints of the idea that
everything can be explained within the framework of a single lifetime, and
you combine this with the notion that everything can and must be explained
and accounted for. But when you encounter phenomena that you cannot account
for, then there's a kind of tension created; it's almost a feeling of agony.
In Western psychology there may be a tendency to overemphasize the role of
the unconscious in looking for the source of one's problems. This stems from
some of the basic assumptions that Western psychology starts with: for
instance, they do not accept the idea of imprints being carried over from a
past life.
So you keep on searching and searching, but you are not finding it, yet you continue to assume that it is still hidden somewhere in the room!" "Buddhism can accept many of the factors that the Western theorists can come up with, but on top of that it would add additional factors. For example, it would add the conditioning and imprints from previous lives."2 Hinduism: Aspiration for Balance Hindu approach to the human life shows aspiration for balance. For example, the concept of four ashramas (stages of life) has been developed to actualize this need for balance. The same goal has the concept of three vargas (goals of life): artha (success, profit), dharma (consciousness development/ religious duty) and kama (love). In Hinduism these three purposes of life are seen as equal and essential to fulfill. It is said that artha, dhama and kama constitute the one way to moksha. Islam: Leading a Balanced Life A balanced life is the way of Islam. Islam teaches people not to be extremists: i.e. neither do too little nor do too much, but follow the Golden Balance. Islam teaches people not to be extremists: i.e. do neither too little nor too much, but follow the Golden Balance. Furthermore, it teaches people to seek a balance between various facets of life.
