Manjushri, the revered Bodhisattva of Wisdom, is depicted seated gracefully on a throne that blends a lotus and a moon disc—symbols of purity, stability, and freedom from illusion. The lotus, rising from muddy waters, represents wisdom blossoming from ignorance, while the moon disc reflects the serene clarity of awakened insight. In his right hand, he wields a flaming sword that slices through delusion, unveiling the true nature of reality. His left hand forms the Vitarka Mudra, a sign of teaching and thoughtful dialogue, emphasizing his role as a masterful Dharma guide. A lotus near his left arm supports the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra, the sacred scripture embodying perfect wisdom that leads beings toward enlightenment. Adorned with divine ornaments and crowned with symbols of the Five Dhyani Buddhas—each representing a unique wisdom—Manjushri stands as a radiant beacon, guiding all toward ultimate truth and freedom from suffering.
