Brass Meditating Buddha Statue In Bhimisparsha Mudra

The Bhumisparsha Mudra, or "touching the earth" gesture, is a common depiction of the Buddha in art. In this pose, the meditating Buddha statue is shown seated with his right hand extended downwards to touch the ground, while his left hand rests on his lap. This gesture represents the moment when the Buddha achieved enlightenment, and called upon the earth to bear witness to his accomplishment. Through this gesture, the /sitting buddha statue is conveying the message that all beings are equal and that the earth itself bears witness to the truth of his teachings. It is a powerful symbol of the Buddha's compassion and his commitment to helping all sentient beings awaken to their true nature.
