Fold? Edit this paragraph? Buddha's posture

The gesture of Buddhism is called "impression" or "deed", also called "handprint". When symbolizing Buddhist thoughts and ideas, it is absolutely different from gestures in secular life. The "handprint" first appeared and integrated with the shape of the Buddha statue. In Buddhist statues, the essential handprint modeling has always been a typical example of Sakyamuni's five seals.

1. "Declaration Seal" is the customary handprint declared by the Buddha. Its form is that the middle finger or index finger and ring finger are twisted with the thumb, and the other fingers are naturally relaxed. The palm can be up and down, the left hand can be right, and the right hand can be left to show the solemnity of the statement. The left hand is placed horizontally on the left foot, and the right hand is bent upward into a ring. (see photo)

2. "meditation seal" is a gesture symbolizing meditation when the Buddha practices Taoism under the bodhi tree. At this point, put your hands on your lower abdomen, your right hand on your left hand, and the fingertips of your two thumbs are connected together, indicating meditation.

3. "Demon Seal" is a gesture symbolizing the surrender of the devil when the Buddha became a monk. It covers his right knee with his right hand, and his fingers hang down and touch the ground, so it is also called "touching seal", which means that Sakyamuni sacrificed himself for all beings before becoming a monk. Only the earth can prove this, because all these things are done on the earth.

4. "Giving the seal of wish" is a symbol of compassion, helping all sentient beings and satisfying their wishes. It is a sign that one hand droops naturally, the palm is forward, and the fingers are together and straight.

5. "fearless seal" means that it can relieve the suffering of all beings. It is a shape with one hand raised to the chest, palm forward and fingers straight up. It is usually used at the same time as "Wish Seal". The above five kinds of handprints, collectively known as Sakyamuni's five seals, are the most common handprints. In addition, there are some complicated tantric handprints used on Buddha statues.

Due to different handprints, there are three most common forms of Buddha statues: Taoist, narrative and sandalwood Buddha statues.

1. declaration stage: declaration seal+knot sitting, indicating the posture of Buddha's declaration.

2. Taoist stage: fixed seal (left hand horizontally placed on right foot)+touchdown seal (magic seal)

3. Eternal sandalwood Buddha statue: it is generally a Buddha statue, and the left hand is willing to print+the right hand is fearless.
