Introduction to Manjushree :
Manjushri is the embodiment of all the buddhas' infinite wisdom. He was one of the eight chief disciples of Lord Shakyamuni who used to raise questions concerning the emptiness for the benefit of other listeners.
His right-hand holds the sword of the wisdom of emptiness for destroying ignorance, the root cause of the sufferings. His left hand holds a lotus flower on which the book of transcendental wisdom is placed. He is adorned with rich and precious ornaments and a diadem.
