Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, holds within his portrayal a rich tapestry of symbolism. At the heart of his divine attributes lies the Prajna khadga, the Sword of Wisdom, an emblem with profound significance.
In his left hand, Manjushri holds a delicate lotus flower, upon which rests the Prajnaparamita Sutra, the scripture of Great Wisdom. This imagery underscores the intertwining of wisdom and compassion, the two essential pillars of the Bodhisattva's essence. His association with the lotus, a symbol of purity, signifies the pristine nature of wisdom. The sword, in contrast, represents the sharpness of wisdom that cuts through the veils of illusion, exposing the truth beneath.
