Manjushri is particularly associated with transcendent wisdom (prajna) and is considered the personification of the highest understanding. His name, "Manjushri," translates to "Gentle Glory" or "Sweet Splendor" in Sanskrit, reflecting the sublime qualities and wisdom he embodies. According to Buddhist tradition, Manjushri was present during the time of Gautama Buddha and is believed to have been a close disciple of the Buddha. He is often credited with introducing the Buddha to the Prajnaparamita Sutra, a pivotal Mahayana text that expounds on the perfection of wisdom.
