In Mahayana Buddhism, Manjushri, or the "Gentle Glory," represents the fullness of wisdom. Two of his qualities, the sword and the sutra, stand for the realization of emptiness and the severing of ignorance, which are prerequisites to enlightenment. Manjushri's youthful form symbolizes wisdom's direct and new insight on the spiritual path. The essence of this Bodhisattva's teachings is embodied in the Vibrant Manjushri Statue, which provides a material link to the bright path of wisdom he illuminates for all creatures.
