The sword held in the upper right hand, represents the sharpness of transcendental wisdom that cuts through ignorance and illusions. It symbolizes the ability to dispel darkness and illuminate truth. The upper left hand holds a lotus upon which rests the Prajnaparamita Sutra. This sacred text symbolizes ultimate wisdom and the purity of enlightenment, akin to the blossoming of a lotus untouched by mud. The lower hands hold a bow and arrow, signifying focus, accuracy, and the integration of wisdom with method. These tools represent aiming for enlightenment through disciplined practice and balanced insight. Manjushri is depicted as youthful, symbolizing the ever-renewing nature of wisdom that remains vibrant and alive across time. His hand gestures embody Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, the three jewels of Buddhism representing spiritual refuge and unity.

In Mahayana Buddhism, Maha Manjushri, also known as the "Great Gentle Glory," is the embodiment of ultimate wisdom. His six-armed aspect represents his involvement in conquering wisdom's hurdles as well as his mastery over the six paramitas (perfections) required for enlightenment. The teachings and symbolic qualities of Maha Manjushri, the embodiment of enlightened wisdom, assist practitioners in growing their mental and spiritual abilities and allow them to delve deeply into the core of the Dharma. This manifestation of wisdom is exquisitely captured by the 6-Arms Maha Manjushri Statue, which provides a concrete link to the path of enlightened intellect and comprehensive comprehension.
