Manjushri 'Standing' - Added
Manjushri as a sculptural figure fashioned from metal, clay or wood, can be depicted in a standing posture. The majority of such images represent a non-iconic (non-Tantra) form of the deity that simply portrays Manjushri as an important figure and student of the Buddha from the Mahayana Sutra literature.
Standing representations of Manjushri might also be created to accompany statues of the Buddha where a bodhisattva figure would stand on the right and left side of the central Buddha, or possibly the figure of Amitabha Buddha. The most common accompanying figures are Avalokiteshvara, Maitreya, Vajrapani and Manjushri.
