About Manjushri
Manjushri is revered as the embodiment of wisdom, an essential quality for attaining Buddhahood. According to Buddhist tradition, Manjushri was once the king of Kamjung Sangpo, who renounced his kingdom and worldly desires to embark on the path of enlightenment. Through receiving the bodhisattva vows, he cultivated the awakening mind and eventually attained complete enlightenment, becoming the Lord of Wisdom that we know today.
In this Thangka, Manjushri's golden skin radiates multi-colored rays, symbolizing the many paths through which he leads others to wisdom. The sword in his right hand represents the knowledge that cuts through ignorance, clearing the minds of unenlightened beings. In his left hand, he holds a sutra, representing the sacred teachings that instill wisdom and ignite the journey toward omniscience.
Surrounding Manjushri are flowers, symbolizing his purity. Just as a flower emerges untainted from the mud, Manjushri is free from the faults he once carried as an ordinary being. He is often depicted in a triad with Avalokiteshvara and Vajrapani, known as Rigsum Gonpo, embodying the essential qualities for enlightenment: compassion, wisdom, and power.
