Lord Manjushri brandishes a sword in his right hand, cutting away our ignorance and negative states of mind which form the basis of all our suffering. In his left hand is a magnificent blue lotus flower, on which rests the Great Wisdom Sutra.
Manjushri's blessings help us develop understanding, communication skills and improved memory, amongst other things. Images of Manjushri are commonly found in the libraries and study rooms of monasteries. Keeping his image will be very beneficial for students, for those in education and communication industries, and for anyone who wishes to receive Manjushri's blessings, gaining the wisdom to free ourselves from our delusions and negative habituations.
