Manjushri, celebrated as the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, embodies the path to enlightenment through profound understanding. In Mahayana Buddhism, he is closely linked to prajna, the essence of insight. Northern Buddhism’s Tantric texts honor Manjushri as a fully enlightened Buddha, showcasing a rich tapestry of forms across all four Tantra divisions—from the simplest to the most intricate. His Eleven Figurative Forms reveal a fascinating range: peaceful, semi-peaceful, wrathful, and even animal-inspired appearances, each telling a unique story of wisdom’s many faces.
