About White Manjushri
White Manjushri (Sanskrit: Sita Manjushri, Tibetan: Jamyang Karpo) is the embodiment of wisdom in Tibetan Buddhism. Known as the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, White Manjushri is revered as a powerful meditative deity who embodies the essence of knowledge, clarity, and understanding. He is considered a protector of the wisdom teachings and is often invoked to enhance intellectual insight and spiritual discernment.
In this Thangka painting, White Manjushri is depicted as a radiant figure with one face and two arms, his color white like the autumn moon, symbolizing purity and the luminosity of wisdom. He sits in a Vajra posture, a symbol of strength and stability. His right hand performs the mudra of supreme generosity, holding a lotus stem with a sword resting upon it. This sword represents the cutting of ignorance and the removal of obstacles to wisdom. In his left hand, he holds a blue lotus, which bears a book, symbolizing the wisdom of the Dharma and the teachings of the Buddha.
In some traditions, White Manjushri is depicted with a book resting on an Utpala flower or may be shown with multiple faces and arms or even riding a lion, emphasizing his profound wisdom and compassion in different forms. The consistent theme across all depictions is his ability to cut through ignorance and to provide guidance to those seeking higher wisdom and understanding.
