Red Mañjushrī is a specific form of the bodhisattva Mañjushrī, who embodies wisdom in Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna Buddhism. While the most commonly depicted Mañjushrī is golden or orange and sits calmly holding a flaming sword and a book (symbolizing cutting through ignorance with transcendent wisdom), Red Mañjushrī represents a more powerful, dynamic, and sometimes forceful aspect of enlightened wisdom.

Characteristics of Red Mañjushrī
The Color Red symbolizes the transformation of desire and attachment into wisdom. Red also often connotes magnetizing power and passion transformed into enlightened activity.

Semi-Wrathful Expression: His face may appear slightly wrathful, indicating his ability to overcome ignorance and obstacles with force if necessary.

Iconography: Varies by tradition, but he may hold:

A sword (as in the peaceful form), often raised in a dynamic posture,

A book or palm-leaf manuscript resting on a lotus,

A bow and arrow, or flaming jewels in some Nyingma or Kagyu representations.

Posture: Usually more dynamic than the calm, seated golden Mañjushrī, sometimes in a dancing or warrior-like stance.

Associations:

In Nyingma and Sakya traditions, Red Mañjushrī appears in terma (treasure teachings) and sādhanas (practices) as a powerful yidam for quickly gaining wisdom.

Sometimes considered an emanation of Amitābha due to the red color, representing the western direction and discriminating wisdom.

Practice and Purpose
Red Mañjushrī is invoked in Vajrayāna for:

Rapid development of discriminating wisdom,

Overcoming intellectual obstacles,

Magnetizing or drawing in auspicious conditions,

Subduing negative forces that obstruct understanding.

His practice can include visualization, mantra recitation, and sādhana rituals, which are often preserved in Tibetan lineages through specific terms or teachings from Mahāsiddhas.
