🧘♂️ Product Overview
This Manjushri Bodhisattva Double-Sided Mini Thangka Pendant is a rare and refined piece of Himalayan Buddhist art, featuring two fully hand-painted sacred images enclosed within an 18K gold Gau box.
-
Front: Manjushri Bodhisattva, embodiment of transcendent wisdom

Back: The Wisdom Sword (Prajna Sword), symbol of cutting through ignorance and mental obstacles
Together, these two sacred images form a complete visual expression of Prajna (supreme wisdom)—wisdom as realization and wisdom as action.
Protected by double-sided sapphire crystal glass, this pendant functions as a portable personal talisman, suitable for daily wear, study, meditation, and long-term spiritual cultivation.
🗡️ Manjushri Bodhisattva – Embodiment of Awakened Wisdom
Manjushri Bodhisattva is one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism and is revered across Tibetan, Chinese, and East Asian Buddhist traditions as the personification of Prajna (wisdom).
In Buddhist iconography, Manjushri represents:
-
Clear insight and intellectual awakening
-
The ability to discern truth from illusion
-
Wisdom that leads to liberation rather than mere knowledge
He is traditionally honored as the left attendant of the Avatamsaka (Huayan) Trinity, symbolizing wisdom that supports enlightened action.
This pendant depicts Manjushri with a serene yet alert expression, reminding the wearer to remain grounded, focused, and faithful to one’s original aspiration, even amid complexity and distraction.
⚔️ The Wisdom Sword – Cutting Through Ignorance and Attachment
The reverse side features the Wisdom Sword, a central symbol in Buddhist philosophy.
Rooted in the teaching from the Vimalakirti Sutra —
“With the sword of wisdom, one cuts down the thieves of affliction.”
Core Symbolism of the Wisdom Sword
-
Breaking ignorance (avidyā): Cutting through confusion, delusion, and false views
-
Severing attachment: Dissolving greed, anger, and ignorance—the Three Poisons
-
Illuminating the mind: Revealing innate clarity and inner awareness
The sword does not destroy outward enemies, but rather targets the root of suffering within the mind itself.
🔮 The Combined Power – Wisdom Realized & Wisdom Applied
When Manjushri Bodhisattva and the Wisdom Sword are presented together, they express a complete path of awakening:
-
Awareness (Insight): Recognizing illusion and mental patterns
-
Detachment (Non-attachment): Cutting through ego, fixation, and fear
-
Clarity (Illumination): Revealing the luminous nature of the mind
This dual imagery symbolizes:
-
Totality: Complete removal of ignorance, not partial understanding
-
Precision: Addressing the root cause of suffering, not surface symptoms
-
Protection: Establishing an inner boundary against confusion and external disturbance
In Tibetan Buddhism, the Wisdom Sword is also associated with the enlightened activity of Manjushri and appears within Nyingma symbolic systems, serving as a visual embodiment of doctrinal truth.
