I've been working on mudras recently.
If I could draw well and upload it I'd share them all.
the two truths (relative and ultimate) can be realized by holding cosmic mudra
right over left and left over right for up to 24 hours, each hour gives a subtler realization.
the four noble truths can be realized by doing cosmic mudra with left and right hands entangled
left hand forward and right hand forward in addition to the two truths.
the 16 or 20+ aspects of the four noble truths can be realized by holding one set of the four
fingers up while holding cosmic mudra, thumbs touching the end of a set of the four fingers.
relative truth i believe corresponds to the noble truth of the cause and path (causes and conditions)
absolute truth i believe corresponds to the noble truth of cessation
the twelve links correspond to holding the thumb to the twelve knuckles. there are four aspects, in front, behind, left, and right. (up to 24 hours each)
to transcend the 8 mundane concerns, hold your hand around your wrist, holding your left wrist with your right hand thumb touching one finger helps one transcend the attachment side mundane concerns
such as pleasure, fame, profit (i forget the fourth)
holding the right wrist with the left hand thumb to one finger each helps one to transcend
anger side mundane concerns (notoriety, loss, pain, I forget the fourth)
up to 24 hours.

on apples
An apple is a traditional offering to a teacher.
Eve gave Adam the apple of the tree of knowledge.
coincidence?
