Manjushri is revered as the Bodhisattva of Great Wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism. He is a celestial bodhisattva often depicted as a young male, symbolising pure, untainted wisdom and the freshness of insight. His primary role is to cut through ignorance and delusion, guiding sentient beings towards enlightenment through the cultivation of profound insight and understanding. He represents the sharp, incisive aspect of wisdom (prajna) that discerns reality, illuminating the path to liberation.
