Up in a Himalayan village temple, where prayer flags flutter and mountain air smells like pine, there’s a faded thangka of Manjushri. The Bodhisattva of Wisdom sits with a flaming sword (to cut confusion) and a sutra (for clarity), his lion mount quiet at his side. Lama Choegyal, who tends the temple, says, “He’s not a god—he’s the wisdom we all carry, just forgotten.”
Last year, Lila, a stressed NYC designer, showed up there. She’d spent weeks obsessing over a project, snapping at her team, unable to sleep. The lama handed her a tiny wooden Manjushri statue: “When you panic, ask: What would wisdom do? Not what’s fast, not what’s perfect.”
Back home, Lila kept the statue on her desk. When she wanted to pull an all-nighter, she touched it: Wisdom rests, then creates. She slept, woke up, and listened to her team’s ideas—their project won praise.
Who Is Manjushri?
From Buddhist sutras, he’s a Bodhisattva who chose to stay in the world, not escape it. He guides with two symbols:
Sword: Cuts anxiety, overthinking, and petty fights.
Sutra: Reminds us to seek clarity, not just answers.
