Manjushri originated in Mahayana Buddhism and is regarded as the Bodhisattva of wisdom and enlightened knowledge. Although his exact historical origin is not linked to a single person or place, his earliest mentions appear in Mahayana Buddhist scriptures that developed in India around the early centuries of the Common Era. The practice and devotion to Manjushri later spread from India to Tibet, China, Nepal, and other regions, where he became an important figure representing transcendent wisdom, learning, and the realization of ultimate truth.
