Statue Manjushree

Majushree

Majushree, god of divine wisdom, whose worship confers mastery of the dharma memory.
However, mental perfection and eloquence are prerequisites for this.
Manjushree is also a form of Bodhisatwas and he symbolizes wisdom. In Nepal, he is considered the founder of Nepalese civilization and the creator of the Kathmandu Valley.
According to tradition, he was a Chinese saint.
His intuition told him about the blue flame (symbol of Adibuddha or Swayambhu) on a lotus in the great lake of Nepal.
He went there to offer worship, but could not reach the water because of it.
He cut the south wall of the hills with his sword, thus the water of a lake flowed to the south. Thus the dry valley became the fertile Kathmandu valley.
He carries the sword of wisdom and light in his right hand and the Prajnaparmita manuscipt the “book of divine wisdom ” in his left on the lotus flower. His left hand is shown in a teaching gesture (Jnan Mudra.).
He is also called Manjunghose, Manju Bara, Vajranga and Vagiswara.
People believe that worshipping Manjushre will give them wisdom, memory, intelligence, etc.
