The hand in the Bhutadamara mudra as a representation of protection from evil
spirits and negative energy makes it a great decor for the home or yoga studio.

Underneath the gesture, also called mudra, you find a miniature version of
siddharta gautama buddha, the founder of Buddhism, who later became known as
“the Buddha”, which means “The awakened one”. He sits quietly in a meditative
position on a lotus flower.

Buddha was a prince, his family was very wealthy and protected him from the outside world.

One day he left the palace to find out how other people live and what he saw shocked him.

Sick, poor, and dead people. It affected him deeply and made him realise that suffering was
part of life and so he began his spiritual journey as a wandering ascetic, which eventually
led to his enlightenment.
