From what I have been told by venerable monks, the snaps are part of the 'Dakini' movements and are embellishments usually added for Tara pujas. The snaps are initially outward facing, and after the mudra of the offering itself, there is a a set of snaps with the palms facing inwards, symbolizing a sort of internalization, or collectiing, of the blessings. The forms presented here look like Gelug and there some differences in the movements for other traditions and also for tantric practitioners.
The snap sends out the offering! Buddhist need to know the time because if you arrange to meet people at a time it would be rude to be late or a waste of time to be very early. To make offerings - each gesture is an ofering - is a practice of giving - the offerings are also made as actual substances in bowls but during a ritual, hand gesture are used to symbolize them. Even if no subtance is offered just to take the time to learn the gestures and perform them is a training in being generous
I just did a video explaining the energy of mudras. One reason or example: If you want to channel peace energy, it would be counterproductive to use a war mudra...
@ GeshlersNKT: I also study at an NKT centre and our teacher tought us to respect other lineages and/or traditions and their ways of practising dharma. To say that Geshe-la's way is the "only" way doesn't seem very tolerant or even wise. I welcome you to respond. Namaste.
my guess is the mudras help open up the sevens seals or your chakras When you open your thid eye and have an out of body. the Mudras proboly help you focus so you can reach higher astral plans God is light the light in your third eye and the Goal is to wake up in Gods light and you can control the light. I wonder what happens if you do the mudras in this sate and do the mudras also help you obtain this state thats my guess just wondering what others think anydeep secret on the mudras

Whats the purpose?
Plz put /display chants in english letters/telugu...language
i dont get it why bother playing with your hands what the purpose
how does this help you wake up with Gods light in your body
this isint as easy as it looks... at allllll
so why does a buddhist need to know the time???
the mind boggles.
