My favorite position is the Buddha standing with hands by the side and fingers pointing down. It means falling rain and is important when the land is suffering from drought.

Buddhist Symbolism
The posture and especially the location of the Buddha's hands are all symbolic. There is a posture for each day of the week, and the reclining Buddha pictured, is Wednesday. The fact that it is lying on its' right side means death. If it is lying the other way it means sleep.
My favorite position is the Buddha standing with hands by the side and fingers pointing down. It means falling rain and is important when the land is suffering from drought.
