Music by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, from the movie 'The Road'.
'… and the big green wheel just rolls real slow through the darkening air, like dreaming. Whoever needs to can sit back and be carried into heaven over and over. I don't care if there are owls or stars or clouds or even an Elvis sighting in the sky. I just want to turn round and round, everyone spinning together in this one big circle'.Mekeel McBride
The Bhavacakra, or The Tibetan Wheel of Life, symbolizes the Buddhist perspective on life and contains within it numerous symbols of Buddhist themes and teachings. The creature who turns the wheel of life and holds it in his clutches is Yama, a wrathful deity and the Lord of Death. Yama symbolizes the inevitability of death, samsara and the impermanence of all things. This does not lead to hopelessness, though, because outside of the wheel stands the Buddha, who points the way to liberation (symbolized by the moon).
