Product Description
Manjusri (Wénshu or Wénshushili Púsà) is a bodhisattva in the Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions of Buddhism. The name "Manjushri" means "gentle glory". Manjusri is the bodhisattva associated with development of enlightened wisdom, doctrine and awareness. Buddhists have identified Manjusri as "the oldest and most significant mythic bodhisattva in the Mahayana tradition. The Lotus Sutra assigns him a paradise called Vimala, which according to the Avatamsaka Sutra is located in the east. Manjusri is frequently depicted in Chinese traditions as riding on the back of a lion. Those who have negative mindset, stressed, depressed, suicidal, quarrelsome and troublesome can benefit from the Manjusri. Bodhisattva Manjusri is also the guardian deity of zodiac rabbit. Those who are born in the years of the rabbit can invite him home as the guardian angel. He provides great power in clearing obstacles and inviting wealth from endless resources when these zodiacs are going through difficulty and in great problems.
Note: The statue is made and hand finished by monks in Tibet. The statue had also been blessed and is sacred.
He is one of the four great bodhisattvas of Chinese Buddhism, the four being: Kshitigarbha, Manjusri, Avalokiteshvara, and Samantabhadra. Together with the Buddha and fellow colleague Samantabhadra he forms the Sakyamuni trinity. In Tibetan Buddhism he sometimes is depicted in a trinity with Avalokiteshvara and Vajrapani. Manjusri is mentioned in a number of Mahayana Buddhist sutras, particularly the Prajnaparamita Sutras.
Some statues showed that Manjusri has His right hand holding a flaming sword, which represents the sharpness of prajna that can cut through the growth of suffering and the net of wrong views. The flame lights up the darkness, just as the light of wisdom dispels the darkness of ignorance. His left hand holds a magnificent blue lotus flower in full bloom, on which rests the Prajnaparamita Sutra (Great Wisdom Sutra). This sutra contains the essence of the great wisdom teachings of the Buddha. The lotus is the promise of the future for all beings who follow the Teachings. He is often depicted as riding a golden-maned lion, which symbolizes the stern majesty of prajna. The lion is the king of the beasts and is fearless. Similarly, Manjusri Bodhisattva teaches the dharma without fear or favour, like the lion's roar.
The Mantra of Manjusri Bodhisattva, a prayer for developing wisdom: Om Ah Ra Pa Tsa Na Dhi
