Bhumisparsha Mudra
The Bhumisparsha Mudra is a symbolic hand gesture commonly associated with the teachings of Buddhism. It represents the moment of Buddha Shakyamuni's enlightenment, where he calls the earth to witness his awakening. In this mudra, the right hand reaches down to touch the ground, while the left hand rests in the lap, symbolizing stability and grounding.
This gesture signifies the overcoming of obstacles and the attainment of spiritual insight. Practitioners often use the Bhumisparsha Mudra during meditation to cultivate focus and connection to the earth, enhancing their sense of presence and mindfulness in their spiritual practice.
