His right hand is raised in a teaching gesture, symbolizing the transmission and explanation of the Dharma, while his left hand rests in a contemplative position, expressing meditative awareness and spiritual composure. Graceful lotus stems rise beside his shoulders, supporting the flaming sword of wisdom and a sacred scripture, representing the cutting of ignorance and the cultivation of transcendent understanding.
