Original Hand-painted Samatha Meditation Elephant Path Way to Heaven/ Nirvana Master quality Tibetan Thangka Painting With Silk Brocade

This magnificent Thangka painting showcases the Samatha Meditation practice, an important aspect of Tibetan Buddhism. The term "Samatha" refers to the "tranquility of the mind" and is one of the two primary meditation practices of Tibetan Buddhism, the other being Vipassana. The Samatha meditation has nine different stages, and this painting illustrates each in intricate detail.

The painting depicts an elephant, representing the mind, and turns from black to white as it is purified from Karma. The monkey symbolizes distraction and represents the wandering nature of the mind. The monk is the individual who attempts to tame the mind and ride the elephant. The monk is shown chasing the elephant, trying to bring the wandering mind under control.

As the monk progresses through the different stages of meditation, the elephant becomes more and more calm, and the monkey becomes less and less distracting. Eventually, the monk realizes emptiness, the ultimate goal of Samatha's meditation, and ascends into the infinite sky.

Overall, this Thangka painting is a beautiful visual representation of the Samatha Meditation practice, illustrating the mind's journey from distraction and chaos to tranquility and enlightenment.
