Manjusri

Manjusri is the Bodhisattva of Wisdom in Buddhism/Zen.

His sword cuts through all illusions and deliusions.

A Bodhisattva is someone who is awkened or awakening. In Mahayana Buddhism, where Zen has it's roots, Bodhisattva's put off their enlightenment to "save all sentient beings". Saving all sentient beings, is one of the Bodhisattva's Precepts, which are formally taken under Jukai.

Manjusri is spoken about lots in the Prjana Parmita Sutras.

May all beings be happy, may all beings be peaceful, may all beings be safe.
