Sacred Tibetan Kadampa Manjushri Compassionate Buddhist Wisdom Buddha Statue
Standing Tibetan Kadampa Manjushri Statue 13.2" (33.5cm) tall and with a base width of 9.8" (25cm), this wonderfully constructed statue weighs 3.51 kg and has a copper body with superb 24K gold gilding. The artwork is further accentuated with gold and acrylic paintings, as well as a polished silver-plated finish that lends depth and complexity to the statue's religious aura.
Manjushri is depicted in a posture of serene contemplation, representing the stillness that comes with deep understanding. In his right hand, he wields the flaming sword of wisdom, with its flames artistically rendered to represent mental illumination and the removal of ignorance. His left hand holds a lotus flower, atop which is the Prajnaparamita Sutra, which represents the pinnacle of transcendent wisdom. The lotus, emerging pure and unstained from muddy waters, represents spiritual awakening and the innate capacity for enlightenment in all beings.

Manjushri, described as the embodiment of ultimate knowledge in Mahayana Buddhism, is renowned for his capacity to remove ignorance and bring about enlightenment. His sword, which cuts through the darkness of ignorance, and the text, which represents the Prajnaparamita, or the perfection of knowledge, are important symbols in his iconography.
