Four mudras (Skt. catumudrā; Wyl. phyag rgya bzhi) — in the yoga tantra, there are four types of mudra which 'seal' the enlightened body, speech, mind and activity of the deity. The four mudras are:

  1. mahāmudrā (Skt.; Wyl. phyag rgya chen po), the 'great seal';
  2. dharmamudrā (Skt.; Wyl. chos kyi phyag rgya), the 'seal of phenomena';
  3. samayamudrā (Skt.; Wyl. dam tsig gi phyag rgya), the 'seal of samaya'; and
  4. karmamudrā (Skt.; Wyl. las kyi phyag rgya), the 'seal of action'.
