Buddha Hands

“You’re soaking in it!”

Anybody remember that one? Buddha has soft hands too and did you ever notice how his hands are often in different positions in statues? I decided to investigate and find out what they all mean.

Turns out there are five positions, or “mudras” as they are called. And each of them has a distinct meaning. If you’ve got a Buddha statue at home, take a look and see whatchtagot.
