Unique Stone Teaching Buddha
The pictured handcarved Buddha was crafted from a colorful type of Himalayan stone by artisans in India. The Buddha's pose is called the dharmachakra mudra, the "gesture of
preaching the Dharma", or the teaching gesture. This posture is commemorative of one of the most important moments in the life of the Buddha, the occasion of His first sermon after his
Enlightenment.
