Also known as Manjughosha ("Gentle Voiced One"), he embodies transcendental wisdom and the eloquent expression of Dharma, cutting through ignorance and delusion. Manjushri is said to return lifetime after lifetime until all beings are liberated from samsara. As the embodiment of transcendent wisdom, he represents the ideal all Dharma practitioners strive toward.
