Handmade Religious Statue of Manjushri | Wisdom Deity
The Religious Statue of Manjushri stands 13.8” (35 cm) tall with a 9.8” (25 cm) base and weighs 3.51 kg. Made from an oxidized copper body, it is decorated with gold and acrylic paintings that highlight its exquisite details. This statue symbolizes the cutting away of ignorance and the illumination of enlightened knowledge, making it a perfect addition to any meditation space or sacred collection.
Manjushri, the revered Bodhisattva of Wisdom, is depicted seated gracefully upon a lotus and moon disc throne—symbols of spiritual purity, stability, and liberation from illusion. The lotus rising from murky waters represents wisdom emerging from ignorance, while the moon disc evokes mental clarity and tranquility brought forth by awakened insight. In his right hand, Manjushri brandishes a flaming sword, embodying the piercing power of wisdom to cut through delusion, ignorance, and illusion, revealing the true nature of reality. His left hand performs the Vitarka Mudra, the gesture of teaching and intellectual discussion, affirming his role as a transmitter of profound Dharma. Near his left arm blooms a lotus flower, upon which rests the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra—a sacred scripture representing the perfection of transcendent wisdom that leads to enlightenment. Adorned in divine ornaments that reflect his celestial qualities, he also wears a crown representing the Five Dhyani Buddhas, each symbolizing one of the five wisdoms (pañca-jñāna) that dissolve ignorance and illuminate the path to spiritual awakening. As the embodiment of wisdom, Manjushri is a radiant guide, helping sentient beings realize the ultimate truth and freedom from the cycle of suffering.
