A disciple of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni, he represents wisdom, intelligence and realization, and is one of the most popular Bodhisattvas following Avalokitesvara. A male
Bodhisattva, Manjusri is depicted brandishing the sword of wisdom and light in
his right hand, representing his realization of wisdom which cuts through
ignorance and wrong views. The scripture held in his left on the
lotus is the Prajnaparamita, representing his attainment of ultimate realization and
enlightenment. Variations upon his traditional form as Manjusri include
Guhya-Manjusri, Guhya-Manjuvajra, and Manjuswari, most of which are Tantric
forms associated with Tibetan Buddhism. His left hand is in
Jnana Mudra
(teaching pose). His robe is incised with floral motifs. On the back of
the base is a Chakra or "Wheel of the Law" and two deer representing the natural
harmony and fearlessness of the deity's pure realm. Please email or call us, toll free, with any questions or comments 1(888)DHARMA-4, info@dharmasculpture.com |
