The lotus rising from murky waters represents wisdom emerging from ignorance, while the moon disc evokes mental clarity and tranquility brought forth by awakened insight. In his right hand, Manjushri brandishes a flaming sword, embodying the piercing power of wisdom to cut through delusion, ignorance, and illusion, revealing the true nature of reality. His left hand performs the Vitarka Mudra, the gesture of teaching and intellectual discussion, affirming his role as a transmitter of profound Dharma. Near his left arm blooms a lotus flower, upon which rests the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra—a sacred scripture representing the perfection of transcendent wisdom (prajñā-pāramitā) that leads to enlightenment. Adorned in divine ornaments that reflect his celestial qualities, he also wears a crown representing the Five Dhyani Buddhas, each symbolizing one of the five wisdoms (pañca-jñāna) that dissolve ignorance and illuminate the path to spiritual awakening. As the embodiment of wisdom, Manjushri is a radiant guide, helping sentient beings realize the ultimate truth and freedom from the cycle of suffering.
