"Well I travelled quite a lot in the east, and one of the things that impressed me greatly was the buddhist notion of the continuity of things, the wheel of life which is what we're talking about, the ever turning wheel"

About this Quote

Morris West's quote speaks with the Buddhist concept of the connection of life, or the "wheel of life". This concept is based upon the idea that life is a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. It recommends that life is constantly altering and developing, which nothing is irreversible. West's travels in the East most likely exposed him to this principle, and he was impressed by it. He believes that the wheel of life is an essential principle to consider when talking about life and its ever-changing nature. The wheel of life is a reminder that life is a journey, which we should embrace the modifications that come our method. It is a tip to be open to new experiences and to value the appeal of life's journey.
