This wonderfully unique Hands of Buddha Meditation Statue would make a stunning addition to any meditation space. Every element of this piece is profoundly symbolic to Buddhist philosophy.
Two realistically designed hands are cupped together to hold a removable mini Buddha statue. In the small meditating Buddha statue, he is performing the vitarka mudra hand gesture - a symbol of the uninterrupted flow of wisdom from teacher to student.
Engraved on this Buddha hands statue is the Heart Sutra, a Mahāyāna Buddhist scripture, considered the best-known and most commonly recited text in Buddhism. Its Sanskrit name (Prajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya) literally translates to "The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom". It is, essentially, a summary of the central teachings of Buddhism, including the concepts of nonattachment, Nirvana, and wisdom.
