This piece is particularly important to me, because I think of Fear, not hate, as the opposite of Love. Fear is what blocks us from becoming our truest, most amazing selves. I am grateful for any assistance that I can get to step through the fear when it arises, as I am constantly striving to step through it as it presents itself. This piece depicts Buddha in the Abhaya (Fearlessness) Mudra. Open palm, nothing to fear, nothing to hide...A mudra is a bodily posture or symbolic gesture. In Buddhist iconography every buddha is depicted with a characteristic gesture of the hands. Such gestures correspond to natural gestures (of teaching, protecting, and so on) and also to certain aspects of the Buddhist teaching or of the particular buddha depicted
