A
Buddha
image seated with a
vitarka
mudra,
in which the Buddha holds one hand in front of
his chest, making a circle with his thumb and index finger. This pose means
‘explanation’ and stands for education. Similar to the
dhammachakka
mudra
(fig.)
in which the Buddha makes a circle with two hands, the setting in motion of the
‘Wheel of Law’, which are the teachings of the Buddha.
