Wheel of Life (Tib. སྲིད་པའི་འཁོར་ལོ་, sipé khorlo)

Samsara (Skt. saṃsāra; Tib. འཁོར་བ་, khorwa; Wyl. ‘khor ba) is the cycle of conditioned existence, birth and death, which is characterized by suffering and in which one is continually reborn until attaining nirvana.

Translation

Luis Gomez has written:

...one should note that saṃsāra is not "cyclic" existence. The term means either wandering about or moving on without interruption, like a river current.[1]
