One piece that did come from the custom design above was the flaming sword of Manjushri. Manjushri is the Boddhisattva of Boddhicitta, or clear thinking. In each of the six realms of existence - Gods, Jealous Gods, Humans, Hungry Ghosts, Hell, and the Animal World, it is possible to break free from the delusion of Mara, the demon that in Buddhist cosmology keeps the wheel of samsara or ignorance turning, and achieve enlightenment through adopting the clear thinking of Manjushri. Boddhicitta doesn't mean quite the same thing as rational thought. It means, rather, relinquishing the self narrative that binds one in a false identity of suffering and ignorance. This is a fine multi layered piece that could be made in a karat gold and silver combination or just in karat gold. |
