It’s just a Circle, Right?: The Wheel of Life

There are many different kinds of wheels, but this month we’re going to be talking about the Wheel of Life, big with the Tibetan Buddhists. A wheel that itself has many different names: Wheel of Existence, Wheel of Rebirth, Wheel of Samsara, Wheel of Suffering, Wheel of Transformation, and I’m sure there are more. What is this particular wheel? What makes it different than, I don’t know, the one on a BMX bike per se? Well this wheel helps you find enlightenment. Do you know of any other wheels that do that?

Magical Buffet Mythology: Kuan Yin

Who is Kuan Yin? Simple answer is the Goddess of Compassion. You may not have heard of her, but I assure you, the people of China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Buddhists, and Goddess worshipers know all about her. Kuan Yin is She Who Hears the Cries of the World. She is generally depicted as a beautiful white robed woman who instead of entering heaven, refused to go until the suffering on Earth has ended.
