Manjushri, an embodiment of wisdom as a Bodhisattva, stands alongside Avalokiteshvara and Vajrapani as a guardian within the trinity of family protectors. His essence mirrors wisdom, as echoed by his mantra. His mantra is not only a chant but also a symbol of wisdom itself. His right-hand grasps a sword with determination, a representation of his ability to cut through the veils of illusion.
His left hand, embracing the stem of a lotus, carries a book—the Prajnaparamita or Perfection of Wisdom teaching. Seated on a lotus throne, Manjushri draws a parallel with the lotus's unstained purity in muddy waters, reflecting wisdom's transcendence over delusion.
