Samatha (blue pashmina) Meditation Kit
Samatha or “Shamatha” means calm and with Vipassana is one of the fundamental meditation practices of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. This Thangka painting illustrates the different stages of the Samatha meditation showing a monk chasing and finally capturing an elephant, where he rides it along the rainbow path into the perfection of the transcendent realm and returns bearing the sword of Wisdom.
