Hi all, quick question. I just realized today when looking at my Lord Buddha that the hand Mudra he’s using doesn’t exactly match any I know of. I originally thought this was the earth-touching Mudra, but every other depiction of the earth-touching gesture has the right hand with palm facing downwards. The other mudras where Lord Buddha’s hands are at his stomach, facing upwards, don’t have the right hand facing down. So, any opinions? Is this the earth touching Mudra, just not how it’s commonly depicted? Any help is appreciated:)
