Manjushri is one of the most important bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism, revered as the embodiment of prajñā (transcendent wisdom). He is often depicted holding a flaming sword, symbolizing his ability to cut through illusion and mental defilements, and the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, representing his profound insight into emptiness. Manjushri is associated with mental clarity, learning, and the development of wisdom in all beings.
