According to the Mahayana, bodhisattva Manjushri was one of the Buddha’s principal students, and requested many of the teachings which the Buddha gave. According to Vajrayana, Manjushri is the wisdom aspect of our mind’s inherent clarity, and to invoke and accomplish Manjushri brings the relative benefit of increasing the sharpness of intelligence and, ultimately, of accomplishing enlightenment. This particular sadhana practice of Jampel Marser, Orange Manjushri, was written by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, the first Khyentse (1821-1894), based on the classical texts of invoking this aspect of Manjushri. |
