Kamalashila’s Nine Stages of “Shamatha” Meditation Poster

I think that this poster is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I get emotional just looking at it. It’s a map to perfect meditative concentration, but deeper than that, it’s a map of how meditation brings us to profound and lasting states of love, freedom and bliss.

It depicts Indian Master Kamalashila’s Nine Stages of Meditation, from just starting to meditate all the way to perfect concentration and wisdom.

It’s something I study and teach from often.

You can learn more about this poster here, and you can buy the print and frame I happen to have here and here.
