MANJUSHRI
Buddhist Wisdom God
Also known as Manjusri
A Sage of Wisdom and Knowledge
He is one of the major Bodhisattvas and is also a partner in the Shakyamuni Trinity with Buddha and Samantabhadra.
Rumor suggests that he was a disciple of the original Buddha Gautama himself, but this will require some meditation to prove.
When performing his professional duties, he rides a lion and waves around a dangerous-looking sword. However, please do not feel intimidated. The sword is to cut you free from the tangled clutches of illusion. It won’t hurt a bit.
We are currently under the illusion that his Japanese incarnation is Monju Bosatsu.
