Sitting Buddha of cast stone, hand posture "earth touch", different sizes
The hand posture of a Buddha is also called Mudra. Shown here: The "earth touching" gesture. Here the Buddha's right arm hangs above the knee and the palms point inwards. All fingers point downwards. The left hand rests on the lap with the palm open upwards. The seated Buddha touches the earth with his fingertips to invoke it as a witness to the truth of his words.
The historical Buddha advised his followers not to follow any teaching blindly, but to question all teachings critically and to test them against their own experience. This tolerance has a sympathetic effect on most people. The Buddha thus traditionally symbolizes serenity and peace. This figure of Buddha from our shop radiates these qualities wonderfully to its surroundings and brings a good mood into your home.
