Manjusri not only plays an improtant role in many of Shakyamuni Buddha’s philosophical discourses, but he figures prominently in myths and legends that originated in Buddha’s time and are still widely today. many years ago Manjusri was seated in meditation on the Five-Peaked Mountain. That time Manjusri became aware about the Nepal Valley and the lake of pure water which filled it. it was in this lake that a previous buddha had planted the root of a lotus which eventually grew into an enormous thousand-petaled blossom, and it was upon this lotus that the dazzling light known as Svayambhu Dharmadhatu (The Self existence) sphere of Ultimate Reality- miraculously appeared.

Arising from his meditation, Manjusri came to the valley, taking with him his sword Cahanda Hasa, “the Dreadful Laugh.” At a place called Turtle Maountain, he cleft the earth with his powerful sword, thereby allowing the water of the lake to drain away to the south. Then, in order to make amends to Turtle Mountain for carving into in in this way, he established a shrine there in honor of Avalokiteshvara so that in the future the site would become a place of homage.

As the water drained out of the valley a hill known as Diamond Peak appeared bearing the lotus and light of Svayambhu. In a later epoch this miraculous light was enshrined in a stupa to preserve it for increasingly degenerate future generations. The Svayambhu Stupa is still one of the main pilgrimage centers in Asia and the site has been visited by a succession of outstanding buddhist masters beginning with Shakyamuni himself.

When the great Indian mahasiddha Nagarjuna later went there, he recovered the perfection of Wisdom Sutra that had been entrusted to the naga king living beneath Diamond Peak; thereafter he disseminated these precious Mahayana teachings widely, bringing about a renaissance of buddhist thought and practice throughout the Indian subcontined and beyond.
