Il bodhisattva Manjushri — Storia e analisi

Manjushri era venerato in Cina come uno dei primi sostenitori del buddismo. A Giava, era rappresentato come un giovane con cinghie di gioielli sul petto. Le mani mancanti di questa figura potrebbero aver un tempo compiuto il gesto di girare la ruota della dottrina (mudra dharmacakra): questo simboleggia l'inizio del ciclo della dottrina buddista e dell'illuminazione.
