The mudras of Shakyamuni Buddha signify profound messages; his right hand touching the ground expresses his enlightenment and his left hand resting in the lap symbolizes meditative repose. Customarily, the Buddha is shown atop a lotus base, a flower that symbolizes wisdom rising from an imperfect world.
