The Sanskrit term "Abhaya" translates to "the absence of fear," making the Abhaya mudra a symbol of conquering fear and fearlessness. However, the conquering of fear is closely associated with following the path of dharma and righteousness.
This gesture conveys messages of peace, friendship, pacification, reassurance, and protection. It can be performed with either the right hand or both hands, with fingers outstretched and palms slightly cupped, facing the observer. The Abhaya Mudra, also known as the Buddha Gesture, has roots predating yoga, meditation, and Buddhism.
