Standing 18.90 inches (48 cm) tall and spanning 13.58 inches (34.5 cm) at the base, the Manjushri Statue: The Wielder of the Sword of Wisdom is crafted from oxidized copper, giving it a timeless and resilient finish. Weighing 8.22 kg, this statue embodies Manjushri’s legendary ability to slice through ignorance with the sword of wisdom. Celebrated in Buddhist tradition for profound insight, it serves as both a powerful spiritual symbol and an exquisite work of art, inviting contemplation and inspiration alike.
Manjushri, the esteemed Bodhisattva of Wisdom, sits elegantly on a lotus and moon disc throne, emblems of purity, steadiness, and liberation from illusion. The lotus, rising from murky waters, symbolizes wisdom blossoming out of ignorance, while the moon disc reflects the calm clarity that valid insight offers. In his right hand, he wields a flaming sword that slices through delusion to uncover the essence of reality. His left hand forms the Vitarka Mudra, a sign of teaching and thoughtful sharing, highlighting his role as a wise Dharma guide. Beside his left arm, a lotus supports the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, the sacred text of transcendent wisdom leading to enlightenment. Adorned with divine jewels and crowned by the Five Dhyani Buddhas—each representing a unique wisdom that dispels darkness—Manjushri shines as a luminous guide, inspiring all seekers toward truth and liberation from suffering.
