Bodhisattva Manjushree Thangka Introduction To The Thangka : Bodhisattva Manjushri encompasses all the unfathomable wisdom of the Buddhas, and he is Smooth, Glorious, and Melodious. He is golden orange in color and holds a blazing sword of knowledge in his right hand and a lotus flower stem in his left, which holds a book of the Perfection of Wisdom sutras.
