Manjushri
Mañjuśrī is a bodhisattva associated with prajñā (transcendent wisdom) in Mahayana Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhism, he is also a yidam. His name means "Gentle Glory" in Sanskrit.〔Lopez Jr., Donald S. (2001). ''The Story of Buddhism: A Concise Guide to its History and Teachings.'' New York, USA: HarperSanFrancisco. ISBN 0-06-069976-0 (cloth) P.260.〕 Mañjuśrī is also known by the fuller name of Mañjuśrīkumārabhūta,〔Keown, Damien (editor) with Hodge, Stephen; Jones, Charles; Tinti, Paola (2003). ''A Dictionary of Buddhism.'' Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-860560-9 p.172.〕 literally "Mañjuśrī, Still a Youth" or, less literally, "Prince Mañjuśrī".
==In Mahāyāna Buddhism==
Scholars have identified Mañjuśrī as the oldest and most significant bodhisattva in Mahāyāna literature.〔A View of Manjushri: Wisdom and Its Crown Prince in Pala Period India. Harrington, Laura. Doctoral Thesis, Columbia University, 2002〕 Mañjuśrī is first referred to in early Mahayana sutras such as the Prajnaparamita sutras and through this association very early in the tradition he came to symbolize the embodiment of ''prajñā'' (transcendent wisdom).〔 The ''Lotus Sutra'' assigns him a pure land called ''Vimala'', which according to the ''Avatamsaka Sutra'' is located in the East. His pure land is predicted to be one of the two best pure lands in all of existence in all the past, present and future. When he attains buddhahood his name will be Universal Sight. In the Lotus Sūtra, Mañjuśrī also leads the Nagaraja's daughter to enlightenment. He also figures in the ''Vimalakirti Sutra'' in a debate with Vimalakirti.
An example of a wisdom teaching of Mañjuśrī can be found in the ''Saptaśatikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra'' (Taishō Tripiṭaka 232). This sūtra contains a dialogue between Mañjuśrī and the Buddha on the One Samadhi (Skt. ''Ekavyūha Samādhi''). Sheng-yen renders the following teaching of Mañjuśrī, for entering samādhi naturally through transcendent wisdom:
