尼泊爾 十六/十七世紀 十二臂文殊菩薩銅像

Manjushri Namasangiti is one of the most important deities within the Newari Buddhist tradition of the Kathmandu Valley. He is conceived as the spiritual progenitor of all Tathagatas and the entire Buddhist cosmos. Manjushri Namasangiti's multi-armed form is a metaphor for his cosmic portent, providing him with six arms to represent each of the Five Buddha Families and Vajrasattva. See an earlier Nepalese bronze image of the deity published in von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 2003, p.356, no.94A.
