The Bodhisattva of Wisdom, Manjushri, is highly esteemed for his Namasangiti, which fully embodies the Buddha's teachings. In the Vajrayana tradition, the "Namasangiti Tantra" is regarded as one of the most significant books because of its comprehensive description of the Perfection of Wisdom and its exhaustive list of the attributes of the Buddha. The practice of Namasangiti Manjushri is especially respected for its ability to improve comprehension, memory, and eloquence, which in turn helps one become a master of the Dharma.
