Mudras? Why did the Buddha use them?

How to do a magical mudra (physical gesture) to achieve anything we want

(Dhieyo) Sept. 21, 2021: What is a mudra? It is a hand or body gesture with intention behind it to produce a result. It can therefore be a kind of magic.

(Sotheby's) The Buddha used many mudras, each with a specific and well understood meaning. They often seem to be describing what he was doing while he sat in silence. Others indicated his activities in statues, iconographic depictions of him in his life, such as teaching, dispelling fear, resting in stillness (concentration, samadhi), or offering a blessing.

(@devidaughter7782) Thank you for the beautiful images and detailed descriptions! One note: it's less pejorative to say "oral tradition cultures" rather than "preliterate" as the latter term implies that all societies will develop written languages. Many rich and wonderful Indigenous cultures around the world have remained oral traditions; this does not imply that they are "less developed" or inferior in any way.  In fact, their wisdom has remained relational, fluid, and alive in contrast to the limitations that have come with written texts. It is important for us to use language that reflects a respectful acknowledgement that rich wisdom traditions occur in both oral and written traditions.
