Manjushri– The Bodhisattva of Wisdom

Manjushri embodies the omniscientwisdom of enlightenment - the wisdom that discerns the true nature of reality.He can discriminate between correct and incorrect views and between beneficialand non-beneficial actions to be taken on one's spiritual path. He bestowsintelligence, knowledge, wisdom, mastery of the teachings, eloquence andmemory. His name means "gentle glory" and he is especially revered inNepal, where he is said to have enabled the founding of civilization in theKathmandu Valley. Manjushri is also the patron Bodhisattva of the Kadampa (i.e.Gelugpa) order of Tibetan Buddhism, which is famous for its master scholars,called geshes.

Manjushri, in this sword-wielding pose, is representative of thecourage and exertion needed to realize freedom.
