MANJUSHRI

Homage to Bodhisattva Manjushri

Bodhisattva Wenshu (Chinese)
Bodhisattva Jambeyang (Tibetan)
Bodhisattva Monju (Japanese)

Manjushri, often called the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, is among the most deeply revered Buddhist devotional figures. Manjushri is "the bodhisattva who embodies this practice of seeing things as they really are, beyond limited views." He is described as being considerably older than most other bodhisattvas; in fact, he is said to have been the teacher to several buddhas in previous eons.
The name Manjushri means "the noble and gentle one." He is often depicted holding a book and a sword. His sword is a symbolic blade meant to cut through and destroy our delusions and let us break through to enlightenment.
