Mudra Abhaya: gesture of absence of fear and protection.

Abhaya means "free anxiety, peace, security" in Sanskrit. In this mudra, the right hand is generally raised to the sky and the left hand is directed to the ground. The Buddha in this posture symbolizes the absence of concern, appeasement, protection, compassion and peace.
