说法印:
Statement:
以拇指与中指(或食指、无名指)相捻,其余各指自然舒散。这一手印象征佛说法之意,表现佛陀于鹿野苑初转法轮时的状态,所以称为说法印,也称转法轮印。
Twist the thumb with the middle finger (or index finger, ring finger), and the rest of the fingers relax naturally. This fingerprint symbolizes the meaning of Buddha's saying, and represents the state of Buddha when he first rotated the Falun in Luyeyuan. So it is called the saying seal, also known as the rotating Falun seal.
无畏印:
Fearless print:
屈臂上举于胸前,手指自然舒展,手掌向外。这一手印表示佛为救济众生的大慈心愿,据说能使众生心安,无所畏怖,所以称无畏印。
Lift your arms up to your chest, your fingers stretch naturally and your palms go out. This handprint represents the Buddha's great benevolence for the relief of all living beings. It is said that it can make all living beings feel at ease and fearless, so it is called fearless seal.
与愿印:

This impression is compassionate, so it often cooperates with Shi Wudao's impression.
降魔印:
Demon seal:
以右手覆于右膝,指头触地,以示降伏魔众。相传释迦在修行成道时,有魔王不断前来扰乱,以期阻止释迦的清修。后来释迦即以右手指触地,令大地为证,于是地神出来证明释迦已经修成佛道,终使魔王惧伏,因此称为降魔印。又因以手指触地,所以又称触地印。
Cover your right hand on your right knee and touch the ground with your fingers to show your subjugation to the demons. Legend has it that when Sakya practiced the Tao, the devil king constantly came to disturb, in order to prevent the Sakya's clean-up. Later, Sakya touched the earth with his right finger. As a proof, the God of the earth came out to prove that Sakya had built Buddhism and eventually frightened the devil king. Because it touches the ground with its finger, it is also called touch mark.
