How absolutely stunning is this Manjushri and Yamantaka Gold Plated Sterling Silver Gao Shrine Box?! Manjushri, seen on the inside each of this Gau, is the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, seen wielding a flaming sword in his right hand, representing the realization of transcendent wisdom which cuts down ignorance and duality. The scripture supported by the lotus held in his left hand is a Prajñāpāramitā sūtra (book), representing his attainment of ultimate realization from the blossoming of wisdom. On the top of the Gau, you see Yamāntaka (meaning 'terminator of Yama i.e. Death') is the wrathful manifestation of Mañjuśrī on the front. Want to read more about this amazing piece?
