Mañjuśrī bodhisattva and Samantabhadra bodhisattva

• By Matsuhisa Sohrin Buddhist Studio, 2019

In repairing main hall, we sculptured mañjuśrī bodhisattva and samantabhadra bodhisattva as attendants of śakya tathāgata, which we’ve sculptured before as main deity. Now they are enshrined as śakya triad.

• Mañjuśrī bodhisattva

  As we say “Three people’s wisdom is equal to mañjuśrī”, this bodhisattva controls wisdom.

  

• Samantabhadra bodhisattva

  This bodhisattva satisfies unmeasurable pray and wish, and transforms it as buddhist virtue.
