The Wise Bird

The Buddha is depicted in vajrasana, the diamond pose, symbolizing steadfast meditation and unshakable focus. His right hand is raised in Abhaya Mudra, the gesture of fearlessness and divine protection—offering silent reassurance and inner strength. He sits on a modest throne, with two birds perched above his head, symbolizing spiritual guardianship or celestial presence. Together, the posture and symbolic throne express calm authority, grounded wisdom, and a connection between the earthly and the sacred.
