Garuda, fabulous bird-man of Hindu and then Buddhist mythology, son of Kashyapa and Vinatâ and brother of Aruna, the charioteer of the god Sûrya. It is the vahana, or mount, of the god Vishnu. He is also considered the king of birds. In Tibet, Khyung (ཁྱུང) is the Tibetan name for the Garuda. Coming from India, it was assimilated to the khading of the Bon religion, the golden horned eagle. The black garuda is a deity of the Nyingmapa school of Tibetan Buddhism who is held to suppress ailments caused by naga and earth spirits. It is featured on the Lungta.

MANJUSHRI

Manjushrî was a disciple of Shakyamuni of whom he is, with Samantabhadra, one of the acolytes in the groups of images called in Japan Shaka Sanzon, "the three venerable ones of Shakyamuni".

It is “He whose beauty is charming”, the Bodhisattva “of marvelous virtue and gentle majesty”. Important in Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna Buddhism.

He is invoked for, among other things, success in studies. It represents wisdom, intelligence and the power of the spirit. “Her worship confers Divine Wisdom, Dharma mastery, faithful memory, mental perfection, eloquence. He would have delayed his accession to the state of Buddha indefinitely, moved by an infinite compassion which pushed him to remain in this world until there was not a single being left to bring on the path of enlightenment. supreme.

He is the protector of people born under the sign of the hare/rabbit.

The two main emblems of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom, are the flaming sword and the sutra of perfection, in his left hand, near the heart. The flaming sword represents Manjushri's penetrating intelligence, which cuts through all illusions, revealing the empty nature of everything. The sword represents above all wisdom, the discernment that tears the veils of ignorance. Manjushrî would have been the initiator and master of the Buddhas of past ages.

It should also be that of the Buddha of the future, Maitreya. "Manjushrî is the father and mother of the Bodhisattvas, and he is their spiritual friend." The Buddha Himself describes Manjushrî and praises him in the Manjushrîparinirvâna-sûtra. This Bodhisattva was therefore very often represented, both in India and in Tibet, in China and in Japan, as well as in Nepal, of which he was, according to tradition, the founder who came from China.

His images only appear late in Central Asia and on some Chinese stelae, associated with Vimalakîrti (Japanese Yuima Koji) in the 6th century. According to Nepalese legend, Majushri opened up the Kathmandu Valley by carving a breach in the mountains encircling the valley with his flaming sword. The lake occupying the latter was thus able to be emptied through the chobar gorges, which bear the mark of this blow.

The best known Mañjuśrī Mantra is Om Ah Ra Pa Tcha Na Dhih, The seed syllables Dhih and Mum are associated with Manjushri. To have a good memory or to develop one's intelligence one often addresses oneself to the bodhisattva of great wisdom, and the recitation of the mantra is very practiced in China.

Long version: Namah samanta buddhānām. He he Kumāraka vimukti pathasthita smara smara pratijñā svāhā.

His cult in China developed from the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420 — 589) on Mount Wutai (五台山 / 五臺山, wǔtáishān, "Mountain of Five Terraces"). Wutai Shan is one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in China. It culminates at 3,058 m at Yedou Peak. It is located on the territory of the city-prefecture of Xinzhou, in the province of Shanxi, just a few tens of kilometers south of one of the five sacred mountains of China: Mount Heng and less than 300 km from Beijing. . It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on June 26, 2009.
