AbstractTwo mudrās signify preaching in Gandhāran Buddhist art, namely the abhaya (-dāna or
-hasta-) mudrā and the dharmacakra (-pravartana-) mudrā. The former is original and
chronologically precedes the latter. The dharmacakramudrā appeared in Gandhāra either
under the influence of South Indian art or was independently invented by Gandhāran
sculptors. It was first applied, almost exclusively, to the preaching Buddha Amida in
Sukhāvatī because the abhayamudrā has multiple meanings and does not always imply
preaching. The new dharmacakramudrā replaced the abhayamudrā within the imagery of
Sukhāvatī. It was later applied to independent cultic Buddha and bodhisattva images. This
transition is observed in some relief panels depicting the First Sermon of the Buddha
Śākyamuni at Sārnāth.
