Mudras

[Homunculus]

Can anyone point me to a good source or a database/diagrams of various mudras used during meditation? I'm familiar with the basic kundalini mudras associated with the chakras, but now I'm wanting to explore different hand forms and how those might change the experience of the meditation.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Mudras aren't usually used in daily Buddhist meditation....not in Samatha, Vipassana, Anapanasati or Zazen.

They can sometimes be observed in Tibetan rituals.

I suggest you investigate some Buddhist centres in your area and attend a weekly meditation class.

If you put your country and district into the Buddhanet Worldwide search facility you might find something.
