Guhyasamaja Manjuvajra MANDALA

Guhyasamaja: Secret Assembly, Manjuvajra: Melodious Vajra. Representing the secret union of wisdom and compassion leading to awakening, the Guhyasamaja Manjuvajra mandala centers on a specialized form of Manjushri. Manjuvajra provides practitioners with skillful means to sharpen our intelligence and warm our hearts by increasing the clarity and focus of our cognition. Shown in stylized fashion, ringed by nineteen deities and bearing all the marks of a Buddha, Manjuvajra traditionally embraces his consort Svabhaprajna and holds a sword to remove ignorance along with a bow, arrow, and flower.
