The raised fist has important symbolism. In Buddhism, there is a parable of the Buddha raising his fist in the exact manner this man did, in order to teach all present that everything in this world that we come to know is a manifestation of mind, that mind is present in everything as an underlying foundation of perception. In Zen, raising the fist was used to signify, “yes, I have it,” or “I understand.” Throughout the world, the raised fist has also been used to symbolize solidarity, strength in unity, and resistance in the face of horrible violence.
