Mudras are hand seals or gestures, used during chanting, to symbolise certain meanings.

Hi,

I don't understand.

So, in the picture it shows the hand is carrying a sword, whisk or pearl.

So, we are going to form similar gesture by holding a sword, whisk or pearl when reciting the Great Compassion mantra ?

In practicality how do we practise them ?

Hi Riccia,

As weychin says, it is necessary to rely on a teacher. I think Ven Hsuan Hua of Thousand Buddhas City has a lineage on these thousand hand, thousand eyes practice. Not sure it is similar to this but i think so. You should learn it from his lineage disciples. They may have a lot of practical info / experience to share with you, for eg. certain mudras should not be used casually. You could get into a lot of trouble that no-one will care to extricate you from later on.
