Condition: Good. Folio. 17 x 11.5 inches on thick paper. Drawing on one side and text on the verso.In Buddhism, Manjushri is the Bodhisatva (Buddha-to-be) of Wisdom, although he is believed to have the enlightenment of a Buddha. He bestows intelligence, wisdom, mastery of the Teaching, the power of exposition, eloquence and memory. He is the principle guardian and patron of astrologers. Revered as the patron of arts and sciences, he is traditionally invoked by writers for assistance. Authors often open their books with verses in his honor.Manjushri works with Lord Maitreya. The two are sometimes depicted in a triad with Gautama Buddha in which Manjushri represents the wisdom aspect and Maitreya the Compassion aspect of Buddhist teaching.The Sanskrit name Manjushri means "gentle glory" or "sweet glory." Manjushri is also known as Manjughosha (meaning "sweet-voiced-one" or "gentle-voiced-one") and as Vagishvara ("Lord of Speech").Manjushri is said to have the power of discriminating wisdom. He can discriminate between correct and incorrect views and between beneficial and non-beneficial actions that must be taken on one's spiritual path. He holds a sword that vanquishes ignorance. Manjushri's sword is also considered a sword of quick detachment and a symbol of enlightened will.In Buddhist art, Manjushri is portrayed as a beautiful 16-year-old prince. He often holds in his left hand the stem of a blue lotus blossom. On the blossom rests one of the Prajnaparamita scriptures, which deal with the realization of Prajna, or wisdom. With his right hand he wields a flaming sword of wisdom to vanquish ignorance.DHIH is the bija, or seed syllable, of Manjushri. The essence of a cosmic being is concentrated in his bija. Manjushri's mantra can be given to help develop wisdom, memory, and the understanding of the scriptures.According to one Tibetan tradition, the devotee should recite this mantra -OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHIH- 100, 21, or at least 7 times. On the last repetition, the final syllable, DHIH, is to be repeated as many times as possible.OM - also written Aum, is a sacred and mystical syllable that originates from Hinduism but is now common in Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, and the Bön tradition. Interestingly, it is considered that the Islamic "Amin" and Christian "Amen" are both derived from this syllable.AH - represents the direct understanding of the nature of phenomena.RA - represents the understanding of emptiness from the Hinayana point of view. These profound teachings of the "Hinayana" emptiness are suitable for those practitioners that have problems in understanding emptiness in its ultimate nature.PA - represents meditation. There are 2 basic types of meditation: the non-conceptual (without thinking) meditation and the conceptual (thinking).TSA - represents the importance of nirvana and samsara. The exact nature of both samsara and nirvana is emptiness. But if we don't understand the exact nature of samsara, it manifests to us in the form of 3 sufferings. It is essential to understand the importance of both nirvana and samsara.NA - represents karma (action). In short, it signifies that all the suffering we experience is the result of our previous non-virtuous actions (negative karma) and all our happiness results from our previous virtuous deeds (positive karma). There are 2 basic kinds of karma: the collective karma and the individual karma. We need to understand that with each action of our speech, body, and mind we are sewing the seeds of our future experience.Dhi - represents the bija, or seed syllable, of Boddhisatva Manjushri. After chanting 108 dhihs, envision the dhi on your tongue coming down and absorbing into the dhi on the moon disk at your heart, which becomes very brilliant. Immeasurable red-light rays radiate from that seed syllable, filling your entire physical body and purifying all negative karma (actions), sickness, and obstacles.In short, the view helps us recognize the correct path. Meditation is the actual practice through which we develop an experiential understanding of the path, leading to a change in our mind and feelings. Activity combined with wisdom gives us the capacity to help sentient beings in an efficient way at the right time. Fruition is the happiness and courage resulting from accomplishing our virtuous intentions.…
