• Manjushri is one of the Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. He is considered the Buddha of Wisdom. His name means “Gentle Glory” in Sanskrit. Tibetan People call Him Jamphel Yang (འཇམ་དཔལ་དབྱངས།). He represents Prajna Wisdom (refers to wisdom, insight, understanding, or intelligence, often translated as "the wisdom of the real nature of phenomena". It's a crucial aspect of the Buddhist path to Enlightenment, guiding practitioners towards liberation and understanding the true nature of existence. Therefore, He often appears in Classic Prajna.

  Many Legends say He is the Master of Seven Buddhas and all the Mothers of Buddha. It is said that Prajna Wisdom is the Teacher and Mother of all Buddhas. The Lord Buddha once said Manjushri was His Teacher in His Past Life.

  Iconography of Manjushri
  Manjushri is often depicted holding a double edge flaming sword on his right hand and holding a lotus flower on which there is a scripture of Prajnaparamita Sutra (Great Wisdom). He is either seen sitting on a Lotus Flower on a Moon Disc or Riding a Lion.

  The double edge Sword is called Prajna Khadga (Sword of Wisdom). This Sword represents the sharpness of wisdom that can cut the root of ignorance with its luminous rays emanating out of it.

  The scripture on the Lotus Flower symbolizes Wisdom as pure as a Lotus.

  The Lion symbolized the stern majesty of Wisdom as it is the King of Animals. It also means Manjushri teaches Dharma without favour or fear.
