Meditative Blue Buddha Statue

The Meditation Buddha is known as Amitabha, Buddha of Boundless Light. The statue depicts The Buddha in a sitting position known as a double or single lotus pose. Both hands are resting in his lap in the meditative position called the cosmic mudra. The overall profile of this pose creates a triangle shape that is meant to represent stability.

Other specific features of this pose include:

• The Buddha's eyes are either closed or half-way closed to depict his meditative state.
• The Buddha's hands overlap each other with his right hand resting on top of the fingers of his left hand with both palms facing up.
• The thumb tips touch each other to form an oval, symbolizing the turning of one's attention inward.
