The Five Mudras

Lesson: Religious education

Class: Miss A Pool - Buttermere Year: 2022 - 2023

In RE we have been studying Buddhism. For the past two weeks we have been looking closely at different images of the Buddha and the symbolism shown. We have identified that the Buddha is shown in thousands of different ways but he is always shown with one of five hand positions known as 'The Five Mudras'. This week we went into the hall to meditate using the mudras. We took the time to think about everything we are proud of since beginning in September.
