The importance of Manjushri in Tibetan Buddhism can be easily understood in the light of the fact that the founder of the Gelugpa school of Buddhism, Je Tsongkhapa, was considered to be an emanation of Manjushri. The Dalai Lama is the Gelugpa order\'s present head.In this particular form of the standing Bodhisattva Manjushri’s iconographic representation in Tibetan Buddhism has him wielding the “sword of transcendent wisdom” aloft in his right hand while his left hand holds the wheel of wisdom (symbolizing the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra) in his left hand. He is standing in an active pose on a rectangular lotus throne. The sword symbolizes the sharpness of the intellect to cut through afflictive delusions and ignorance and the wheel symbolizes the perfecting of one’s mental processes and inherent intelligence.In esoteric symbolism, Manjushri is often representated as Yamantaka, literally translated as the “Destroyer of Death”. Given the central importance of transcendent wisdom in the Buddhist thought universe, the concept that wisdom can destroy death reduces death itself to the merely physical idea and views wisdom as eternal, omniscient and all encompassing. Common Tibetan folklore has it that Yama (the Lord of Death) was subdued by Manjushri, in the form of you have any doubts or questions, please contact me without
