His iconic earth-touching gesture signifies his triumph over Mara, the embodiment of worldly distractions, and his connection to the Earth as a witness to his enlightenment. Shakyamuni Buddha’s teachings on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path continue to guide practitioners toward liberation from suffering.
