Manjushri is the primary bodhisattva associated with transcendent wisdom (prajna) in Mahayana Buddhism. He represents the sharp, active intellect required to overcome personal delusions, usually depicted as a youth to symbolize that wisdom is ever-fresh and untainted by mundane conceptualizations. By contemplating his form, practitioners seek to cultivate memory, intellect, and the profound realization of emptiness.
