A
Buddha image
in
Myanmar
depicting the
Buddha
with a
Amida
mudra,
i.e. the image in a seated position with the hand palms held forward, the
fingers upward and the index fingers pointing slightly towards each other.
However, there are nine grades of Amida and thus also nine hand positions.
Hence, in
iconography,
this mudra may also be depicted alternatively. This one is found at the back of
the
Chauk Htat Gyi Reclining
Buddha in
Yangon (fig.).
