About Our Statue:

Manjushri, Spiritual Wisdom Icon stands 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) tall with a base measuring 6.5 inches (16.5 cm), and weighs 1.40 kilograms, offering a balanced and refined presence. Made from a solid copper body, it is richly adorned with 24K gold gilding that radiates a luminous, sacred glow. Intricate gold and acrylic paintings bring out the fine details and traditional motifs, while carefully inlaid gemstones add vibrant color and symbolic depth. 

Manjushri is shown holding the flaming sword of wisdom in his right hand, symbolizing the abolition of ignorance, and the Prajnaparamita Sutra in his left hand, representing the embodiment of supreme knowledge. This statue depicts the attributes of clarity, insight, and intellectual force, making it a meaningful object of devotion and an excellent addition to any location dedicated to wisdom and enlightenment.

Manjushri, the symbol of wisdom, illuminates the journey toward enlightenment in Buddhist lore. Known as the Wisdom Bodhisattva, he embodies prajna—the deep understanding at the heart of Mahayana Buddhism. In the rich tapestry of Northern Buddhist Tantra, Manjushri appears as a fully enlightened Buddha, taking on many forms across the four Tantra categories, from calm and gentle to fierce and even animal-like. His Eleven Figurative Forms, ranging from peaceful to wrathful, each reveal a unique tale of wisdom’s strength. This exquisite Nepali handicraft beautifully brings Manjushri’s enduring wisdom and lively spirit to life.

Introduction To Manjushri :

Manjushri means "very auspicious" in Sanskrit. Manjushri, one of the most famous compassion bodhisattvas, is particularly revered among Tibetan Buddhists. He, as the Buddha Resplendent, resembles a brilliant sun. Manjushri is a Tibetan name that means "good companion." He also represents the Kadampa Buddhist tradition, recognized by its scholars.

How do you take care of your statues?

• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by a Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
