Thangkas are thought of as sacred representations and are often placed in Tibetan homes or monasteries on a shrine.
Manjushri is an important figure in Mahayana Buddhism, especially the Prajnaparamita sutras and the Avatamsaka Sutra. He is attributed with bringing insight that leads to Enlightenment. In Mahayana Buddhism, he is the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, while in Vajrayana he is a fully enlightened Buddha. Manjushri is often pictured with a flaming sword in his right hand, symbolizing the attainment of wisdom, and sometimes with a lotus flower or the Prajnaparamita sutra. He is one of the three great Bodhisattvas.
