Batik - Buddha Meditating

Here Buddha sits in one of the most well known poses; meditating in the lotus position, his hands in his lap with both palms facing upwards.

This position is known as the Dhyana Mudra, and is the gesture of absolute balance, of meditation. It symbolises concentration on the good law and the attainment of spiritual perfection.

This position is the one assumed by Buddha as he was meditating under the Bodhi tree before he attained enlightenment. It indicates the perfect balance of thought, the resting of the senses, and tranquillity.

Due to the nature of the hand printing techniques used in India, there may be natural variations in design and some double printing may occur, however this does not detract from the beautiful finish of this batik.
