② Deity Introduction
Manjushri Bodhisattva is one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas in Chinese Buddhism and is widely revered as the bodhisattva of prajna (transcendent wisdom). In Mahayana tradition, he is often described as a teacher of bodhisattvas and is honored for representing the source of awakened insight.
Within Buddhist iconography, Manjushri is commonly associated with the sword of wisdom and the prajna teachings, expressing clarity, discernment, and the purification of confusion.
③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic
Manjushri is traditionally associated with wisdom, learning, clear expression, and disciplined inquiry. His symbolism emphasizes developing insight through study, contemplation, and mindful practice, rather than relying on external promises.
In Buddhist practice logic, devotion to Manjushri supports the aspiration to cultivate prajna and apply understanding ethically and steadily in daily life.
