The Rabbit represents fluctuation of the mind. The Stick is used to control the elephant i.e alertness. The rope which is shown in the monk’s hand i.e. mindfulness.

The fire represents the struggle for control which reduces through familiarity. After, the final stage (in the cave), bliss and ecstasy(a state of elated bliss) are reached using the realization of the wisdom of emptiness to banish(drive away) ignorance.

This is a deeply symbolic thanka.
