Fugen Bosatsu (Samantabhadra Bodhisattva) is traditionally associated with compassion in relation to Shakyamuni Buddha, and is often shown as a flanking figure alongside Monju Bosatsu (Manjushri), who represents wisdom.
This piece depicts Fugen Bosatsu in the classic form of a protector of the Lotus Sutra: riding a white elephant with palms joined in gasshō. It is a calm, focused image that many people choose for a quiet corner of the home.
About this piece
