"Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo" is the most popular chant among Buddhists. Whether chanting Buddhist mantras regularly or not, one can always look forward to placing Lord Buddha idols in his/her home. The followers are known to use a series of hand gestures in their meditation. These fascinating hand gestures, also known as Mudras have specific meaning and connotation, differing from each other. 

Dhyana, literally meaning concentration is a gesture using thumbs to create the triangle and upturned hands overlapping one another. The triangular shape is believed to work on circling of energy and cleansing impurities. Hence, keeping an idol of Lord Buddha in Dhyana Mudra in the meditation room or centre of your home will allow to meditate and connect with your inner self.

Karan Mudra is meant to fight with negativity. Hence, do not keep it in the areas of your home which are already full of activities and people. A glimpse of Karan Mudra idol might give them a sense of negativity. Keep it in areas which are less active. If you feel a particular room needs warding off the bad energies, place it near a window of that room from where the bad energies would go away.
