Manjushri, the esteemed Bodhisattva of Wisdom, is elegantly seated on a throne made of a lotus and moon disc—symbols of spiritual purity, steadiness, and liberation from illusion. The lotus, rising from muddy waters, signifies wisdom emerging from ignorance, while the moon disc represents the clarity and calmness that come with awakened insight. In his right hand, Manjushri holds a flaming sword, symbolizing the sharp power of wisdom to cut through delusion and ignorance, uncovering the true nature of reality. His left hand forms the Vitarka Mudra, a gesture of teaching and intellectual discourse, highlighting his role as a profound Dharma teacher. Near his left arm, a lotus flower supports the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra, a sacred text symbolizing the perfection of transcendent wisdom that leads to enlightenment. Decorated with divine ornaments that reflect his celestial essence, he wears a crown with five points representing the Five Dhyani Buddhas, each embodying one of the five wisdoms (pañca-jñāna) that dispel ignorance and illuminate the path to awakening. As the living symbol of wisdom, Manjushri shines as a radiant guide, assisting all beings in realizing the ultimate truth and liberation from suffering.
