The Tathagata Amoghasiddhi, Buddha of the North "Almighty Conqueror" is identified by his right hand gesture of fearlessness and protection, abhaya mudra . The Buddha is said to protect practitioners from the poison of jealousy and envy. This sculpture embodies the principal Buddhist tenet of Compassion with its serene otherworldly expression.
