Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche gave the reading transmission and practice instructions for Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom. He holds in his right hand the Sword of Wisdom cutting through veils of illusion and in his left, a blue lotus with the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra.  Through visualization, mantra repetition, and meditation this practice enables one to give rise to one’s innate wisdom mind. Manjushri mantra recitation is a prerequisite for participating in the Garchen Institute Yamantaka Retreat.
