Manjushri Wisdom BUddha blessing
10am to 12 pm
march 11, 2016
Manjushri (or manjusri) is the embodiement of all the Buddha's wisdom. The word manju means “charming, beautiful, pleasing” and Shri means “glory, brilliance”. Manjushri is regarded as the crown prince of Buddhist teachings, or the one who can best explain the Buddhist wisdom, that is able to extinguish afflictions and bring about enlightenment.
Manjushri is often depicted with his right hand holding a double-edged flaming sword and his left hand holding a lotus flower on which rests the Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) Sutra. The Prajnaparamita Sutra on the lotus flower symbolizes wisdom as pure as lotus. The sword represents the sharpness of wisdom that to cut through delusions.
