Hymn to Mañjuśrī
A short hymn to Mañjuśrī invoking his blessings. According to Tibetan tradition, this poem of eight lines was simultaneously written by several hundred monks of the ancient Indian university, Nalanda. It is said every scholar composed an independent prayer of praise to the noble bodhisattva and when they compared what they had each written all the compositions were exactly alike!
