Traditionally Crafted Manjushri with Flaming Sword Statue
Manjushri represents enlightenment's omniscient wisdom. In our studio, we handcrafted a Manjushri with Flaming Sword statue in the tradition of Nepal's century-old Himalayan Art. We are a group of artists who have been sculpting Buddhist sacred deities for generations. The flaming sword in his right hand represents the power of discriminating wisdom to cut through ignorance, the source of all suffering. Manjushri's sword-wielding pose represents the courage and effort required to achieve freedom, and her left hand is in Vitarka Mudra, the gesture of teaching and intellectual discussion, holding the stem of a lotus flower that supports the Prajnaparamita, or Perfection of Wisdom sutra.

Manjushri means "very auspicious" in Sanskrit. Manjushri, one of the compassion bodhisattvas, is more famous among Tibetan Buddhists. He, as the Buddha Resplendent, resembles a brilliant sun. Manjushri is a Tibetan name that means "good companion." He also represents the Kadampa Buddhist tradition, recognized by its scholars.
