Buddha is depicted with Heart Sutra in Varada mudra. Heart Sutra is a
popular Mahayana Sutra known for its brevity and depth of meaning.
Varada mudra denotes the act of charity and benevolence, with the
associated emotions of sincerity and compassion. It is conveyed with
the left arm extending downwards, palm facing in an outward direction.
Varada Mudra typically accompanies another gesture like the Abhaya
Mudra and is usually seen on images of deities who enrich, grant boons
and pacify their followers.
