Buddha Manjushri, the manifestation of all the Buddhas’ wisdom, known as the Wisdom Buddha. His right hand holds a wisdom sword symbolizing his wisdom that cuts through ignorance. His left hand at his heart holds the stem of an upala flower that supports the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra in Eight Thousand Lines, indicating that by relying on Manjushri we can develop the wisdom eye with which we can see the entire meaning of Buddha’s Perfection of Wisdom Sutras.
