Manjushri – The Embodiment of Enlightened Wisdom
Manjushri, derived from the Sanskrit “Manjushree,” meaning “Gentle Glory,” is the bodhisattva of transcendent wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism. His name reflects the harmonious fusion of gentleness and honor. Manjushri is revered as the embodiment of enlightened insight, eloquence, and profound understanding of the Dharma. Often depicted wielding a flaming sword to cut through ignorance and holding a scripture symbolizing ultimate truth, he guides practitioners along the bodhisattva path with clarity and intellectual awakening.
What is a Thangka?
A thangka (also spelled tangka, thanka, or tanka) is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist scroll painting created with meticulous care on cotton canvas or silk. These sacred artworks illustrate spiritual subjects such as deities, mandalas, and narrative teachings. Mounted on brocade fabric and adorned with a silk front cover, thangkas are typically stored rolled, preserving their scroll-like format. Used as meditation aids and teaching tools, they inspire reflection and spiritual growth. To ensure longevity, thangkas should be stored in dry, stable conditions, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
