About our Statue:

This Handmade Manjushri Statue, also known as the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, stands at 12.8”/32.5cm in height and 9.6”/24.5cm at the base, weighing 3.04 kg. Crafted from copper with silver-plated, detailed gold and acrylic paintings, and adorned with gemstones, this statue reflects expert craftsmanship. Created by skilled Nepali artisans, it is an ideal addition to altars, meditation spaces, or spiritual collections focused on wisdom and clarity.

Manjushri, the esteemed Bodhisattva of Wisdom, sits elegantly on a lotus and moon disc throne—emblems of purity, steadiness, and freedom from illusion. The lotus, rising from muddy waters, symbolizes wisdom blossoming from ignorance, while the moon disc reflects the calm clarity insight brings. In his right hand, Manjushri wields a flaming sword that slices through delusion to unveil reality’s true nature. His left hand forms the Vitarka Mudra, a sign of teaching and thoughtful dialogue, highlighting his role as a profound Dharma guide. Beside his left arm, a lotus holds the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, the sacred text of transcendent wisdom leading to enlightenment. Decorated with divine ornaments and crowned by the Five Dhyani Buddhas—each representing a unique wisdom that banishes ignorance—Manjushri shines as a luminous guide, inspiring all on the journey toward ultimate truth and liberation from suffering.

Introduction to Manjushri:

In Buddhist traditions, Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, is revered for his ability to cut through delusion and bring clarity. When paired with his consort, this portrayal stresses the combination of transcendent wisdom (Manjushri) and deep comprehension (Consort). They work together to guide the seeker to gain a deeper understanding of reality, emphasizing the balance of knowledge and sensitivity. This statue serves as a beacon for anyone seeking a greater sense of themselves and the universe.

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 the 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.
