Blessing Buddha

Description

The pose of Buddha seated with one hand raised in a blessing gesture has two meanings, and they are interrelated. The first is protection where the raised hand acts as a shield to keep out negativity and danger. The second meaning is overcome fear to be at peace with oneself. Being protected help us overcome fear, which is an emotion that restricts our life. You can place this form of Buddha facing the main entrance of a home to keep disruptive elements at bay.
