BODHISATTVA MANJUSHRI
Manjushri is the protector of people born under the sign of the lievre.

Manjushrî was a disciple of Sakyamuni of whom he is, with Samanta-bhadra, one of the acolytes in the groups of images called in Japan Shaka Sanzon, "the three venerable of Sakyamuni". It is "He whose beauty is charming," the Bodhisattva "of wonderful virtue and sweet majesty."
Important in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhisms. It is invoked for, among other things, success in studies. It represents wisdom, intelligence and the power of the mind. "His worship confers divine wisdom, mastery of the Dharma, faithful memory, mental perfection, eloquence. He would have indefinitely delayed his accession to the state of Buddha, moved by an infinite compassion that impelled him to remain in this world until there was not a single being left to bring on the path of supreme enlightenment.
He is the protector of people born under the sign of the lievre / rabbit.
The two main emblems of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom, are the flaming sword and the sutra of perfection, in his left hand, near the heart. The flaming sword represents Manjushri's penetrating intelligence, which sashes all illusions, revealing the empty nature of everything. The sword represents above all wisdom, discernment that tears the veils of ignorance.
Manjushrî would have been the initiator and master of the Buddhas of past ages. It should also be that of the Buddha of the future, Maitreya. "Manjushrî is the father and mother of the Bodhisattva, and he is their spiritual friend." The Buddha Himself describes Manjushrî and praises him in the Manjushrîparinirvâna-sutra. This Bodhisattva was therefore very often represented, both in India and Tibet, in China and Japan, as well as in Nepal of which he would be, according to tradition, the founder from China. His images appear only late in Central Asia and on some Chinese stelae, associated with Vimalakîrti (jap. Yuima Koji) in the sixth century.
According to Nepalese legend, Majushri opened the Kathmandu valley by carving, with the stroke of his flaming sword, a breach in the mountains encircling the valley. The lake occupying the latter was thus emptied by the chobar gorge, which bear the mark of this blow.
The best known Mañjuśrī Mantra is Om Ah Ra Pa Tcha Na Dhih, The germ syllables Dhih and Mum are associated with Manjushri. To have a good memory or develop one's intelligence one often turns to the bodhisattva of great wisdom, and the recitation of the mantra is widely practiced in China.
Long version: Namah samanta buddhānām. He he Kumāraka vimukti pathasthita smara smara pratijñā svāhā.
His cult in China developed from the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420 – 589) on Mount Wutai (五台山 / 五臺山, wǔtáishān, "Mountain of Five Terraces"). Wutai Shan is one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in China. It rises to 3,058 m at Yedou Peak. It is located on the territory of the prefecture-level city of Xinzhou, in Shanxi province, just a few dozen kilometers south of one of the five sacred mountains of China: Mount Heng and less than 300 km from Beijing. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on 26 June 2009.

THE GOD ELEPHANT GANESH
The elephant-god Ganesh (or Ganesha/Ganapati, also sometimes called siddhi data) is one of the most popular gods of Hinduism and is also widely represented both in the Temples of Theravada Buddhism (India, Thailand, Indonesia...) and in those of Vajrayana (Tibet, Nepal...). He plays an important role in Tantrism and is present in the Tibetan pantheon where he is recognized mainly as a deity of wealth but is also part of the attributes of some wrathful deities, somewhat frightening, terrible, secretive and fearful, avoiding obstacles.

The Japanese name of Ganesh is Shōten (聖天) or Kangiten (歓喜天), Japanese Buddhism considers it a manifestation of Shō Kannon Bosatsu (聖観音菩薩). In Japanese, the kanji 天 is used as the equivalent of the Hindu Deva.

MANTRA OF COMPASSION "OM MANI PADME HUM"

According to Tibetan Buddhism, reciting the mantra of Chenrezig Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or inwardly, is an invocation to the benevolent and powerful attention of Chenrezig, the expression of the Buddha's compassion. Seeing the written mantra can have the same effect, which is why it is found in clearly visible places, even engraved in stone. It can also be invoked using prayer wheels on which the mantra is inscribed, sometimes thousands of times. There are different formats of prayer wheels: there are those that you can carry with you and spin with one hand, and there are others that are so big and heavy that it takes several people to spin them. According to Tibetan Buddhist monks, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum (Hung) alone brings together all of the Buddha's teachings. We will now see step by step the power of this mantra in a more "technical" way.
