Dharmachakra Mudra
Dharmachakra mudra, used by Buddha during his first sermon following his enlightenment, represents continuous flow of energy. Dharmachakra is a Sanskrit word which means "the wheel of dharma." The mudra also symbolizes kalachakra, which refers to the time cycles.
To perform this mudra, bring the tips of the thumb and index fingers of both hands together to form a circle. Keep the remaining three fingers stretched. Place the hands at heart level with the left palm facing the heart and right palm facing outward.
