VARIOUS MUDRAS RELATED TO BUDDHA - Dhyan Mudra

Indicates Meditation and is also called ‘Samadhi’ or ‘Yoga’ Mudra. It depicts Buddha with both the hands in the lap, with the back of the right hand resting on the palm of the left hand with fingers extended. In many statues the thumbs of both hands are shown touching at the tips, thus forming a mystic triangle. It signifies the attainment of spiritual perfection. This Mudra was used by Buddha during the final meditation under the bodhi tree.
