Mudrā is a sanskrit word with a deep variety of attached meaning and symbolism. Outwardly, it refers to the hand gestures of the Buddha. In Sādhanā practice, a variety of mudras are used to represent mentally emanated offering substances. Inwardly, the word mudra is used to describe the “seal” of emptiness as the essence of all phenomena, as in the word Mahamudra. The mudras in the gallery show the offering mudras used in the Tukdrup Barché Kunsel tradition.
