Stages of Shamatha Thangka

A visual representation of the different stages of the Shamatha meditation.

The elephant represents the mind, which in the beginning is shown as being led by a monkey representing the distractions. Gradually both the monkey and the elephant change color, and the monkey no longer leads the elephant as a metaphor of the progression of the practitioner and the taming of his own mind.
