Item Details

Description

Central Asia, Nepal, ca. 17th to 18th century CE. A fabulous stone stele depicting Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom whose name means "Gentle Glory" in Sanskrit. Sitting in dhyanasana on a lotus base, Manjushri is shown traditionally with his 4 hands radiating around him and holding a sword, a scroll, a bow, and an arrow or lotus flower. His sword represents the realization of transcendent wisdom which cuts down ignorance and duality. An elaborate, floral headdress crowns his serene visage, which is comprised of arched brows over downcast eyes, a broad nose, full cheeks, and fleshy lips, while flowing robes drape his slender figure, and lavish earrings and beaded strands hang from his ears and neck. Traces of gold paint and red tika additionally adorn his face. A wonderful example of Buddhist iconography! Size: 9.5" W x 11" H (24.1 cm x 27.9 cm); 14" H (35.6 cm) on included custom stand.

Manjushri is known as a bodhisattva associated with transcendent wisdom (known as "prajna") in Mahayana Buddhism. Followers of Mahayana Buddhism believe that worshipping and following the teachings of Manjushri can confer upon them wisdom, increased memory, and heightened intelligence. In Tibetan / Vajrayana Buddhism, Manjushri is also known as a "Yidam," a physical manifestation of an enlightened mind or enlightenment. The name "Manjushri" translates as "Gentle Glory" in Sanskrit, and he is also known by his more-complete name - Manjushrikumarabhuta - which literally translated as "Manjushri, Still a Youth" or, less literally, "Prince Manjushri.
