Manjushri


The Bodhisattva Manjushri is said to have the power of discriminating wisdom. He can discriminate between correct and incorrect views and between beneficial and non-beneficial actions that must be taken on one's spiritual path. He holds a sword that vanquishes ignorance. Manjushri's sword is also considered a sword of quick detachment and a symbol of enlightened will. It cuts through dualistic thinking.

Sorry Kev. I lost a few links in the transition to the new template and I've been re-adding them by hand. Yours must have slipped off. I'll get it back.
