Buddha Statue Meanings - Right Hand on Left Hand With Fingers Fully Stretched - Dhyana MudraThe two hands are placed on the lap, right hand on left with fingers fully stretched and the palms facing upwards, forming a triangle, symbolic of the spiritual fire or the Triratna, the three jewels. Sometimes the Dhyana mudra is used in certain representations of Bhaisajyaguru as the Medicine Buddha, with a medicine bowl placed on the hands. It originated in India most likely in the Gandhāra and in China during the Wei period. This mudra was used long before the Buddha as yogis have used it during their concentration, healing, and meditation exercises. It is heavily used in Southeast Asia in Theravada Buddhism; however, the thumbs are placed against the palms. Right Hand on Left Hand With Fingers Fully Stretched - Dhyana Mudra
