Samantabhadra, meaning "Universal Worthy," is the bodhisattva of practice, meditation, kindness, and action. He is often depicted seated with a consort in the dhyana mudra, forming a triangle hand gesture, symbolizing balance and spiritual harmony. With an ushisha (topknot) on his head, he embodies wisdom and enlightenment. Sitting on a lotus, representing purity, and with elongated earlobes, symbolizing wisdom and detachment, Samantabhadra exemplifies compassion, mindfulness, and virtuous action.
