Understanding Mudras: The Hand Gestures of the Buddha

In addition to their material and artistic beauty, Burmese Buddha statues are distinguished by the mudras they depict. Mudras are symbolic hand gestures used by the Buddha to communicate specific teachings or states of being. Here are some of the most common mudras found in Burmese Buddha statues:

  • Dharmachakra Mudra: This hand gesture, with the thumb and index fingers forming a circle, represents the Buddha’s teaching of the "Wheel of Dharma" or the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. It signifies the transmission of knowledge and the Buddha’s role as the teacher.
  • Bhumisparsha Mudra: One of the most iconic mudras, this gesture shows the Buddha touching the earth with his right hand. It symbolizes the moment of enlightenment, where the Buddha calls upon the Earth to witness his victory over Mara (the demon of temptation).
  • Abhaya Mudra: This gesture, with the right hand raised and the palm open, is a symbol of fearlessness and protection. It conveys the Buddha’s promise to offer guidance and peace to all who seek it.
  • Vitarka Mudra: Often depicted with the hand held up, palm facing outward, and the thumb and index finger touching, this mudra represents the transmission of knowledge and wisdom, particularly in the Buddha’s teachings on the Dharma.
