Manjushri (Mañjuśrī) is one of the most significant Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism, revered as the embodiment of transcendent wisdom (prajñā). He is traditionally depicted holding a flaming sword, symbolizing his ability to cut through delusion and ignorance, and a lotus flower supporting the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra, representing the teachings on the perfection of wisdom. Meditating upon or visualizing Manjushri is believed to enhance intelligence, wisdom, and understanding of the Dharma, leading towards enlightened insight.
