Manjughosa (the Gentle Voice), is a form of Manjushri, a deity of which descriptions of almost fifty forms are known.  He represents the wisdom (prajna) of all the Buddhas. He is seated in the diamond attitude (vajraparyaskasana) on a double lotus pedestal with a beaded border. With his hands he forms the “gesture of setting in motion the Wheel of the Law” (dharmacakra-pravartana-mudra) and he holds the stalks of two blue lilies. On each their blossoms rests one of his two major attributes: the sword (khadga) of discerning knowledge and the manuscript (pustaka) of transcendent and perfect wisdom. This wisdom consists in recognizing the voidness of all phenomena, which leads to the liberation from the wheel of rebirths.
