The above antique Manjushri or Jampalyang statue was originally acquired with a missing sword (see top photo). A special sword crafted from stony-iron meteorite has since been commissioned as a replacement. May the wisdom sword of Manjushri blaze in the ten directions!
OM AH RA PA TSA NA DHI
"Your wise intelligence, O youthful Mañjuśrī, father of all the victorious buddhas, has thoroughly overcome the darkness of the two kinds of obscuration which are to be abandoned, both emotional ones which are the roots of desire and so on, and cognitive ones which are the roots of confused dualistic perceptions."
