Four pillars
uphold the idea of Bodhisattvahood
in Buddhism. Together with Avalokiteshvara, Kshitigarbha, and
Samantabhadra, Bodhisattva Manjushri rules over all bodhisattvas. He is a deity
of gentle bearing, characterised by composure of supreme calm. Zoom in on the
sweet face of the Bodhisattva in this thangka. Despite the weapons in His hands
and the decisive stance of the arms that wield them, He looks on at the world
with a gaze that is warm and profoundly comforting.

His skin is
an arresting scarlet color. Each of His three heads bears a five-spired crown
and kundalas dangling from earlobes lengthened by lifetimes of sadhana and
accumulated wisdom. His characteristic sword cuts through clouds of avidya
(ignorance) and in one of his six hands he holds a manuscript of the
Prajnaparamita. The pastel-coloured silks that clothe the Bodhisattva, the
tender pink lotus of the pedestal, and the ice-blue fire-spewing creature he is
seated on, make for a signature thangka-style color palette.

At the ends
of His aureole sit his two wives, the fairest, most well-endowed beings of the
Buddhist paraloka. Across the aureole it is painted a world of mythical
creatures, culminating in a cherub of the tantric world. The peach-colored
lotuses peeking out from the edge of the aureole and the deep blue sky beyond,
serve to tone down the aura of these creatures.
