Manjusri, a Mahayana Buddhist bodhisattva of wisdom, takes a prominent role in Mahayana art and literature. He embodies prajna wisdom that transcends conventional knowledge. Portrayed as a male figure, Manjusri wields a flaming sword in his right hand, symbolizing the enlightenment that dispels ignorance.
This emphasizes the transformative power of wisdom. Manjusri also holds a blooming Blue Lotus in his left hand. His form showcases the "Vajra Sword of Discriminating Light" and the mudra of supreme generosity with his right hand, while his left holds the stem of a lotus with a flaming sword. This representation invites contemplation on wisdom's illuminating potential.
