Description
Lord Buddha is seated in dhyana asana, the meditative pose also called
padmasana, with his hands in vitarka mudra.
Vitarka mudra is interpreted as the hand gesture that evokes the energy
of teaching and intellectual discussion, or argument. It mostly
feels like the transmission of a particular teaching with no words, and
the circle formed by the thumb and index finger create a constant flow
of energy and information.
This wood sculpture is a one of a kind statue, hand carved by the very talented artists of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
