The Dharmachakra Mudra: A Gesture of Teaching

The gesture represents the continuous turning of the wheel of Dharma, spreading the Buddha's teachings throughout the world to benefit all beings. The halo, known as "Prabhamandala" is present behind the Buddha's head. It is a circle representing light. The halo represents enlightenment, wisdom and the purity of the Buddha's mind. It suggests that the Buddha is a being of light and wisdom. The dimensions of this carefully sculpted statue are 11.5 x 8.6 x 4.0 inches.
