Manjushri represents the embodiment of all the Buddha's infinite wisdom. He holds the flaming sword of wisdom in his right hand. The double-edged sword cuts through layers of misconceptions. A volume of the text "The Perfection of Wisdom" rests on a lotus flower in his left hand. It is said that the two most powerful ways of developing wisdom are to study this text, and to meditate upon Manjushri.
