Manjushri wields the Sword of Wisdom in his right hand, which cuts through the ignorance keeping us bound to our "conditioned" existence and holds a copy of the Perfection of Wisdom sutra text in his left hand. His brilliant orange color signifies the radiance of the sun-like piercing light of wisdom and intelligence that overcomes all delusions and wrong conceptions.
