History: Manjusri is a bodhisattva associated with prajna (transcendent wisdom) in Mahayana Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhism, he is also a yidam. His name means "Gentle Glory" in Sanskrit. Manjusri is also known by the fuller name of Manjusrikumarabhuta, literally "Manjusri, Still a Youth" or, less literally, "Prince Manjusri".
