Answer:

False

Explanation:

There are many different styles of Buddha statues that usually vary by the position of Buddha's hands. Over a hundred different hand gestures exist and each of them conveys a different spiritual meaning.

For example, the depiction of Buddha with the right hand raised and facing outwards has two meanings: the Protection Buddha (the raised right hand symbolizes a shield) and Overcoming Fear (the one being protected has nothing to fear). You can see this depiction of Buddha in the first picture.

The Buddha depicted with both hands facing up on his lap and legs crossed in the Lotus Position is called the Meditation Buddha. People usually buy this statue if they want to set up a peaceful corner in their home where they could relax and think. The second picture shows what this representation of Buddha looks like.
