About The God
Manjushri is the Bodhisattva of keen
awareness in Buddhism. A disciple of the historical Buddha
Shakyamuni, he represents wisdom, intelligence, realization and is
one of the most popular Bodhisattvas following Avalokitesvara. Since
wisdom is a greatly honoured quality in Buddhism, Manjushri's
position in the pantheon is among the highest.
A male
Bodhisattva, Manjusri is depicted brandishing the sword of wisdom and
light in his right hand, representing his realization of wisdom which
cuts through ignorance and wrong views. The scripture held in his
left on the lotus is the Prajnaparamita, representing his attainment
of ultimate realization and enlightenment. Variations upon his
traditional form as Manjusri include Guhya-Manjusri,
Guhya-Manjuvajra, and Manjuswari, most of which are Tantric forms
associated with Tibetan Buddhism. His left hand is in the teaching
gesture. He is typically seated on a single or double lotus throne.
