Legends tell of Manjushri as one who has attained Buddhahood countless eons ago, yet chooses to remain in the Bodhisattva stage to guide sentient beings towards awakening. His serene yet dynamic posture in this statue suggests his active role in dispelling darkness and misunderstanding. The gesture of his raised hand, often holding a flaming sword, symbolizes the power to sever the roots of suffering and delusion, while his other hand, in a gesture of teaching or protection, signifies the bestowal of profound knowledge and clarity. ––––––––––
