This is an original hand painted nine stages Samatha
meditation Old Oil Varnished Tibetan Thangka Painting.
Samatha meditation is a gentle but effective way of training
the mind to develop inner strength and freedom from restlessness, leading on to
clarity and understanding. Nine Stage Samatha Meditation is also called
Elephant Path Meditation. The Samatha means the "tranquility of the
mind" and is an important meditation practice of Tibetan Buddhism. This
Thangka painting illustrates nine different stages of the Samatha meditation.
The mind is represented by an elephant, which turns from black to white when
the mind is free or purified from Karma. The monkey symbolizes distraction. The
monk is an individual, who chases the mind until he tames the mind and is able
to ride the elephant, and eventually ascends into the infinite sky.
