Description

Manjushri Buddha Nepal, 20 cm

Manjushri leads the dragon king's daughter to enlightenment in the Lotus Sutra, and he gives the second to last summation on emptiness in the Vimalakirti sutra. Tsongkhapa, who founded the Gelug sect of Tibetan buddhism, received his teachings from visions of Manjushri. He is one of the four great bodhisattvas of Chinese buddhism, the four being: Kshitigarbha, Manjushri, Avalokiteshvara, and Samantabhadra. When he attains buddhahood, his name will be Universal Sight. His pure land will be one of the two best pure lands in all of existence in all the past, present and future. Manjusri says in the "Manjushri Speaks on the Inconceivable State of Buddhahood" sutra that if Shakyamuni has attained buddhahood, then he (Manjushri) has attained buddhahood. He is a dharmakaya bodhisattva, which means that unlike an ordinary 10th stage bodhisattva, who still has a bit further to go before full enlightenment, is attained, Manjushri has no further to go and can attain buddhahood at any time but has yet to achieve buddhahood, because his vows are not yet fulfilled.
