Manjushree

Manjushree is an important figure in Mahayana Buddhism, especially in Tibetan and East Asian traditions. The Kathmandu Valley was once a lake, Manjushree saw a glowing lotus in the middle. He cut a passage with his sword to drain the lake. The lotus settled where the Swayambhunath Stupa is, and the valley became a place where people could live.

He is a Bodhisattva of Wisdom, symbolizing wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Manjushree means "Gentle Glory" or "Sweet Glory." He is shown as a young figure with a sword that cuts through ignorance and helps us see the truth.

Manjushree is depicted sitting on a lotus flower which symbolizes purity, the emergence of wisdom from the mud of ignorance, and the potential for enlightenment. Bring wisdom into your home with a Manjushree statue. Let his calm energy help you find clarity and peace.
