Manjushri, the esteemed Bodhisattva of Wisdom, is shown seated in a poised and serene manner atop a lotus and moon disc throne—powerful symbols of purity, inner stability, and liberation from illusion. The lotus rising from muddy waters signifies the emergence of wisdom from ignorance, while the moon disc reflects the calm clarity that comes with awakened insight. In his right hand, he wields a flaming sword, representing the sharpness of wisdom used to cut through illusion, ignorance, and delusion to reveal the ultimate truth. His left hand is raised in the Vitarka Mudra, symbolizing teaching and intellectual discourse, underscoring his role as a bearer of profound Dharma. A blooming lotus near his left arm supports the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra, a sacred text that embodies the perfection of wisdom leading to enlightenment. Manjushri is richly adorned with celestial ornaments and wears a crown symbolizing the Five Dhyani Buddhas, each representing one of the five transformative wisdoms (pañca-jñāna) that dissolve ignorance and light the way toward awakening. As the embodiment of wisdom, Manjushri serves as a luminous guide, leading beings toward ultimate truth and liberation from the cycle of suffering.
