Attributes of our Nepali Jampelyang Statue
Manjushri is also known as the “Bodhisattva of Perfected Wisdom”. Inside the lotus blossom growing over his left shoulder rests the Book of “Perfected Wisdom” which is a collection of the Prajnaparamita Sutras. These sutras are where Manjushri originated in the Buddhist texts. Indeed, Manjushri is one of the oldest and most venerable Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist pantheon.
Our Tibetan Manjushri statue features the youthfulness that is commonly associated with him. However, this does not indicate that he is merely a youth. Instead it is believed that an enlightened being will see the world from a refreshed perspective. Therefore, one who obtains insight knowledge will see the world anew and be reborn. The youthful features and association with wisdom make Manjushri statues a popular selection among students. Click here to learn more about the special attributes of the Bodhisattva of Wisdom.
