Manjushri

Manjushri Bodhisattva of Transcendent Wisdom Acrylic on canvas 14" X 18"

In Tibetan belief, it is the Bodhisattvas who are the active creators of the universe. A Bodhisattva (literally “One whose essence is Supreme Knowledge”) is a perfect being, who heroically delays final liberation or absolute enlightenment in order to help others attain enlightenment. Manjushri is an ancient Buddha who vowed to emanate throughout the universe as the always youthful, princely Bodhisattva of Transcendent Wisdom. His special purpose is to lead the seekers of Buddha in the inquiry into the self, to discover the true nature of reality.
