Bhumisparsha Mudra 

Dimension:

11" Tall x 8.5" Width

Description:

A mudra in Buddha statues is a gesture and body posture holding special meanings and commemorating few of the important moments in the Buddha's life.

Bhumisparsha is a symbol for enlightenment. The bhumisparsha Buddha is always depicted in a seated position, with its right hand resting on its knee and fingers pointing towards the earth. The left hand rests on its lap with the palm facing upwards. ‘Bhumisparsha’ means ‘touching the earth’ or ‘calling the earth to witness’. This mudra represents the moment when Buddha became enlightened underneath the Bodhi tree.

One of the most common and popular mudras which are found depicted in Buddha statues is the Bhumisparsha mudra, translated as the earth touching gesture. Buddha statues with this mudra are commonly known as the "earth-witness" Buddha and these iconographic representations are one of the most popular Buddhas you can find anywhere in the world. In Buddha statues with the Bhumisparsha mudra, the Buddha, more specifically, the historical Shakyamuni Buddha is seen seated with his right hand as a pendant over the right knee reaching toward the ground with the palm inward while touching the lotus throne. In the meantime, the left hand can be seen with the palm upright in his lap.

This gesture represents the moment of the Buddha's awakening as he claims the earth as the witness of his enlightenment. Just before he realized enlightenment, it is believed that the demon Mara tried to frighten him with the armies of demons and monsters including his daughters who tried to tempt him to get out of meditation under the Bodhi tree. While the demon king Mara claimed the throne of enlightenment for himself, his demon army claimed to be the witness for Mara's enlightenment. Mara then challenged Siddhartha about the witness. Then the former prince reached out his right hand to touch the earth as it is believed that the earth itself roared "I bear you the witness!" Hearing the roar from the earth herself, the demon king disappeared.

The following morning saw the first appearance of the one who is awakened, the Buddha. Hence, it is believed that the Bhumisparsha mudra, or "the earth witness" mudra commemorates the Buddha's victory over the temptation by the demon King Mara. This particular mudra does not only represent the defeat of Mara and his demonic army by the Buddha, it also represents the unwavering or firmness shown by the Buddha while he was in the pursuit of enlightenment by meditating under the Bodhi tree.

Similarly, the Bhumisparsha mudra also signifies the union of skillful means or Upaya which is well represented by the right hand touching the earth, and wisdom or Prajna, which is represented by the left hand with its palm facing upward on the lap in the meditation position. As the story tells about the earth being the witness of the Buddha's enlightenment, the Bhumisparshamudra depicts the Buddha's firm belief and effort while pursuing the path of enlightenment. This mudra is also portrayed in the statues of many other Buddhas like the Dhyani Buddha Akshobhya along with Shakyamuni Buddha. It is believed that the Bhumisparsha mudra was used by Akshobhya to transform the delusion of anger into wisdom. Therefore, in Buddhism, it is believed that the Bhumisparsha mudra helps us to bring about the transformation from rage and anger to wisdom.

Crystals are tangible, physical forms of the Earth’s energy. Millions of years old, crystals carry the natural life force of the earth. Their ability to emit specific frequencies and store tremendous amounts of information makes crystals essential to modern technologies. So how can we harness the power of crystals? It’s as simple as carrying them, wearing them or placing them in your home.

Due to the nature of this mineral, every piece will be unique and different unless is a SOLD AS SEEN listing. There is much variance in color, shape, formation and pattern.

This was my first gemstone Crystal purchase,I'm so excited about my journey. Thank you so much for my extra gift.

its nice.but its too big for my wrist and keeps falling off

Wonderful

The pyramid is more beautiful than I thought. Its shape and dimensions are very suitable. I like it very much. The transport to Romania took a long long time, but it was worth the wait.

Multi Tourmaline Tree of Life Necklace

I bought all 3 of the Tree of Life Necklaces. One to keep and two to give as gifts. They are very beautiful and a great price. I personally didn't like the black leather it was on so I switched it out for a delicate black ball chain and it looks really good.

Love my new purchase

I love, love, LOVE this store. I recently received my 2nd order and the whole process was super quick and easy. I received an email stating that one of the necklaces I purchased was recently out of stock and if I wanted to replace it or receive a refund. I called and someone was able to answer my questions and I was able to replace it with the same stone but just a different cut. The person I spoke to (I can't remember her name) was super kind and patient with me, and she was able to help me place my order right away with the replacement. This kind gesture showed me how great this shop truly is. I will definitely be ordering from this shop again in the future.

very pleased

The packaging is beautiful and unique, excellent shipping, I instantly fell felt like I got exactly what I wanted love everything about it!

Really cool

I really love the pyramid as it reminds me of the sacred pyramid shape and is very nice for charging jewelry; I'd definitely recommend it

Golden Healer Quartz Stone Handmade Healing Crystal Necklace

Golden Healer Quartz

I was told intuitively that I need this stone!! "They" were not wrong!! It is definitely the right stone for me right now!! I LOVE it!!!😍💖💛💛💛💛💛💛

Blue Lace Agate Pendant

I love this stone! I felt immediate love when I picked up the package. The extra moonstone and amethyst added to the silver is just extra beautiful. I would recommend making or buying your own chain, the one it comes with is basically just to hold it. I’m making a silver chain for it, but, I have everything to do that but not everyone does. I will definitely shop here again, the pendant itself was worth the value without a chain.

I loved it! Long & cute! It gave me very good energies right away!✨❤️

I love it the details of the dragon is amazing I'm in love with the pendant the necklace as well didn't have to change it

(Blue) Kyanite earrings are super special.

This super stone performs a unique function and I am glad to have found it here.
However, if color is important be aware that colors vary from the color depicted on the computer monitor.
My blue kyanite earrings are grey, a light grey that includes charcoal grey vertical striping.
Blue would have been amazing, but don't lose sight of the function Kyanite performs.

Selenite Charging Plate
Valeree Hansen
Perfection

My selenite charging plate is doing its job. It fits into the box that holds my crystal earrings. The extra unique feature is that the earrings stay in place on the charging plate. They do not slide all around when I move my earring box to open it and select my earrings.
Love that I am doing the best for my crystals as they do the best for me.
