Description: 19th Century Tibetan Buddha, Bronze Antique. Bhumisparsha Mudra – Touching the EarthThe left-hand lies palm facing up on the seated Buddha’s lap. The right-hand lies curved over the Buddha’s crossed knee, fingers ‘in the touching the ground gesture.’The Buddha is simply inviting the ground to bare witness to his enlightenment. It is the need or want of the Buddha to invite, that causes interruption to the state of meditation. Enlightened bliss is without want. We say it has been practiced out of the meditation. I prefer the gestures where the Buddha hasn’t quite touched the ground yet. Why Nepal or Tibet? Well, the best reason is that Chinese Curators of their own museums have Tibetan Bronze Buddha’s that are similar in the most significant ways; expression, construction technique. In fact their sculpted examples of Tibetan Bronzes are near identical. **notes: Tibetan is the correct spelling not Tibetian
