The wheel of life is a common visual depiction in Buddhism.

他教导说，通过一个人的行为、业力，通过以智慧、道德、同情为特征的生活方式，通过冥想，以及用精神力量控制欲望、贪婪和放纵，就有可能得到大彻大悟，即涅槃。

What goes around comes around, and that's what I believe, this body is just like a house that we rent for a while.

躯体死后，我们必须寻找新地方居住。这就是无常，都是临时性的。
So, good Buddhists believe that we should do our best in this life to guarantee a better place after we die.
因此，虔诚的佛教徒相信我们应当在今生努力做到最好，以确保死后有更好的去处。
