Ma(?)jus(?),as a very important Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism,originated in India and had a great influence on Chinese Buddhism.Not only followed of Buddhists or the esteem of royalty,It is also a unique belief system formed in Wutai Mountain,which can be said to have an inseparable relationship with the Buddhist thought it represents.In the early classics introduced into the Middle Earth,Ma(?)jusr(?) Bodhisattva was often associated with Prajna wisdom,Among those classics,Manjusri often appeared in the image of "good at saying empty meaning"and said Prajna thought,Guide the audience to get the Enlightenment of "the first essence".With the development and spread of Mahayana Buddhism,especially the introduction of a large number of mahavaipulya-sutra classics,Manjusr(?) as a representative of wisdom has been accepted and publicized by the majority of Chinese Buddhist scholars.The wisdom represented by Ma(?)jusr(?) is no longer limited to Prajna theory,but combines a variety of Mahayana Buddhist thoughts and forms a unique system of thought and practice.This paper will try to explore this ideological system,with the help of the collation of relevant documents,analyze the changes of Ma(?)jusr(?)'s status and wisdom status in Buddhist scriptures,so as to describe its ideological context and development process,and then summarize the wisdom of Buddhism represented by Ma(?)jusr(?).Try to answer the two main questions:which Buddhist thoughts does Ma(?)jusr(?) Wisdom contain and how does it develop.Manjusri 's relevant Buddhist scriptures cover a variety of thoughts based on Prajna,and show that the early thoughts are more extreme,the words are intense,and the later period is relatively relaxed.At the same time,they pay more attention to the objective existence of phenomena,and strengthen their own development process of convenient use in the face of the actual process of Dharma promotion.The Buddhist thought represented by Ma(?)jusr(?) developed with Mahayana Buddhism,which is also reflected in the different roles played by Ma(?)jusr(?) in the system of Lotus Sutra and Buddhavatamsaka.The Buddhist wisdom represented by Ma(?)jusr(?) is embodied in his thought of prajnapartheid,which emphasizes the equality between things by excluding the differences between concepts,so as to build a Buddhist philosophy with emptiness as its noumenon.At the same time,as another important part of Manjusri 's Buddhist thought,it emphasizes the transcendence of language and character,and realizes the elimination of difference and the cognition of space in the absolute unity.At the same time,the Buddhist wisdom represented by Manjusri takes practice as the ultimate goal.Such practical philosophy not only publicizes its transcendent profound principles,but also discusses the way of the existence of the phenomenon world in order to adapt to the cognition of believers.At last,we guide the Buddhists to practice the Buddhist principles and enter into the Buddhist wisdom realm through epiphany.
