| | Mudra - Hand positions of Japanese Buddhist Deities |
| | In the Vajra mudra, the index finger of the left hand is clasped by the five fingers of the right; this is also known as the "six elements mudra," or the "fist of wisdom" mudra, for it symbolizes the unity of the five worldly elements (earth, water, fire, air, and metal) with spiritual consciousness. | | | The mudra with one or two hand(s) in the air is during the teaching (present Buddha). | | | The most widely known mudra in Japan are those associated with the Five Buddha of Wisdom (Jp: Godai Nyorai, The Five Tathagata), a grouping that originated in India, as did most Buddhist iconography. |
