Manjushri (Sanskrit: मञ्जुश्री, romanized: Mañjuśrī) is a bodhisattva who represents prajñā (transcendent wisdom) of the Buddhas in Mahāyāna Buddhism. Scholars have identified Mañjuśrī as the oldest and most significant bodhisattva in Mahāyāna literature. The Lotus Sutra assigns him a pure land called Vimala, which according to the Avatamsaka Sutra is located in the East. His pure land is predicted to be one of the two best pure lands in all of existence in all the past, present, and future.

Mañjuśrī: The Sword, the Spell, and the Stillness There’s a reason Mañjuśrī carries a sword. Not to conquer others—but to cut through delusion.

I love me some dharma with a sword. This one’s about Mañjuśrī—the bodhisattva of wisdom—and the kind of truth that cuts through delusion without collapsing into cruelty.
