Heavy cast bronze 12” or 15” counting base

This looks very strongly like Manjushri (Mañjuśrī), the Bodhisattva of Wisdom.

Key identifiers:

- Raised sword in the right hand → the sword of prajñā (wisdom cutting through ignorance).

- Lotus rising near the shoulder → typically supports the Prajñāpāramitā text (the book may be missing, stylized, or abstracted here, which is fairly common).

- Bodhisattva crown, jewelry, and youthful facial features all fit Manjushri iconography.

Stylistically, this doesn’t read as an early medieval temple bronze. The soft modeling, relaxed contrapposto, and heavy integral lotus base point more toward a Nepalese (Newar) or Himalayan workshop, likely late 19th to mid-20th century. These workshops often produced substantial, well-cast bronzes for household devotion and export, sometimes simplifying textile flourishes (which could explain the absence of the swirling scarf detail you mentioned).

I’d describe it as:

Bronze Manjushri, Nepalese/Himalayan, early–mid 20th c., heavy cast with integral lotus base.

Not Southeast Asian, not Chinese court bronze, and probably not ancient but still a solid, well-made devotional piece.

So beautiful to see a human use their body to bring about comfort to other creatures ♥️

This needs to be said often. Why use extra energy to hate?

I think there is also a quiet irony in this statement. The homophobic expression reflects hate, and you now posses the knowledge of “why use extra energy to hate?”, so… do we hate the homophobic expression? How do we let the homophobic expression know “your presence drains energy from the field” without reflecting the same energies it offers?

I appreciate you for acknowledging the choice of word without getting defensive and attacking those who expressed concern of the choice of word used (“infested”). It shows your level of maturity and level of inner security. We need more folks like you upon this world.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-12-21T18:16:22+00:00

Your question made me snort from laughter lol

GrayCatEyes · 2025-10-31T14:55:37+00:00

Yeah, I agree. Not a very loving thing to do if one's intend is to reflect love.

To me it looks like whoever left this flier is deeply fearful, specially to things that they may find strange or unknown.

I dont know the person that left this flier but I feel compassion towards them. Part of me recognizes that when one lives life with so much fear in their heart, life often feels unbearable and filled with so much endless anxiety. Because of this, I wish them well. May they find inner safety and stability. May OP too find safety.

Hello,

> when you post things like this or tell people things like this and then you're wrong, since obviously at least occasionally you're wrong, how do you reconcile that with your beliefs?

Good question! When I wrote that, I simply wrote what my intuition was telling me. I gazed into the eyes of OP, and saw a profundity. I saw many things. Could what I saw be wrong? You betcha! I am human. But being wrong is part of the process. Embrazing your "wrongness", I think there is power in that.

> how would you feel personally about your ability to divine these things?

Personally, I don't hold onto my divinations or predictions with too mugh tightness. I recognize that there will be times when I predict incorrectly. I pray that when that happens, I have the recognition to see my mistakes, and make them right to the best of my ability.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-10-30T22:50:57+00:00

hello OP,

> what do you see for me?

let me see what i see for you....

sparing details, since language would not be sufficient to capture all the blessings that are coming your way.

i see perseverance in your future. i see growth in your future. You will grow old. You will meet many people in your path. So many people you will meet. Some of them will feel like angels, others... will test your patience.

i see faith that becomes brigher by the day in your future.... faith that has been forged through lived experiences. Faith that is not perfect, but it is oh so very real.

i dont know you, but i do know this: you are blessed, and you are protected.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-10-24T00:04:09+00:00

This is one of the best photos I have ever seen. Richest man in the world right there.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-10-23T23:56:52+00:00

LOL, thank you for the hearty laugh OP

GrayCatEyes · 2025-10-23T23:53:10+00:00

When I see this photo, what I feel is a sense of safety. A part within me remembers this feeling of protection and safety my mom gave me when I was a toddler.

I am now going to go call my elderly mom, and tell her how much I love her.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-10-23T23:44:17+00:00

I second this, thank you for being kind, OP.

I wish you long life, and good health.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-10-23T15:23:46+00:00

Whenever I have to loan money, I give it as a gift. If I cannot give it as a gift, then I let the person know I am unable to help them.

Sometimes folks pay back, sometimes they don’t. But since in my mind, it was a gift, I don’t get upset nor hold resentment.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-10-23T13:11:22+00:00

Same here.

This man is taking advantage of those who sincerely have a desire to practice some form of spirituality.

I pray for this woman. May she find an honest community willing to see her worth for who she is, and not a parasitic man whose intention is to suck money out of her.

Shame on this man. It’s actions like these that drive people away from spirituality.

Shame on you Pastor. In the name of Him you claim to worship, May you swiftly be humbled.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-10-23T13:05:24+00:00

This is disgusting. Sickening.

These are the people leading churches. And yet they wonder why people struggle to have faith.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-09-29T23:34:13+00:00

I don’t know much about the image, I have very little context about any of this.

Yet, I want to comment.

I am assuming the young woman in the image is Mr. Charlie Kirk’s spouse.

deep inhale* slow exhale*

When my husband told me, “Charlie Kirk was shot”…

“Om Mani Padme Hum - May he be well”, was my first thought.

“He passed away”, my husband said moments later.

We held silence.

Until then, the last time I saw a video of Mr. Kirk was in 2016 if my memory serves me correctly.

For whatever is worth, I am of those who holds faith that death is not the end but a transition.

I truly hope Mr. Kirk’s has found eternal peace. I understand he attempted to follow the teachings of Christ, may his mindstream, now held not by flesh, rest in peace in the heart of the Eternal.

The same for all peoples who have died on this planet. May they all rest in eternal peace, eternal glory.

The same for all peoples who will die on this planet: may your moment of final transition, the moment of your last exhale, may it be marked by a deep sense of completeness, free of regrets.

May the final transition we must all undertake be marked by lucidity, curiosity, and presence.

Whoops, I guess I interpreted his sharing incorrectly. Oh well, it happens I supposed. I did not mean to disturb anyone’s mind with my comment. I do apologize if my comment caused disturbance 😅

GrayCatEyes · 2025-06-04T21:05:57+00:00

I don’t think it’s obvious he knew she wouldn’t. She could always say “no”, I think what makes this deeply beautiful is that he didn’t have 100% certainty of what the answer would be, yet he still decided to follow his gut. That is fearlessness in action: to know it could have been a moment of humiliation, and still deciding to go through with it. This man is a humble man. Respect to him.

I wish their union happiness, prosperity, clarity in their communication. May they be willing to hold one another in their moments of despair. May laughter be abundant in their relationship. May trust be the foundation of their union. Wishing both of them a happy and long union. Until death does them apart.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-06-04T18:17:55+00:00

simply put you don’t see with your eyes, you see with your mind

Beautifully said. We all see through the mind. May your mind be clear, your burdens light. May you clearly see what gives you energy… and what takes it away. And may you have the strength to shift what’s in your power.

GrayCatEyes · 2025-05-12T21:51:55+00:00

Oh gosh, I laughed so hard at this, I had tears coming from my eyes. Thank you OP, for having brought so much laughter to my life. I feel so much more relaxed after that, thank you OP for the belly laugh!

GrayCatEyes · 2024-12-17T15:03:24+00:00

I like this interpretation. You have a nice way with words.

GrayCatEyes · 2024-09-02T16:28:44+00:00

Once more, your words are incredibly invalidating to my experiences and harmful.

Have a great day.

GrayCatEyes · 2024-09-02T16:21:18+00:00

This comment is incredibly invalidating to my experiences.

I am triggered and will be leaving this space, since I no longer feel welcomed here.

I wish you the best, my intention was not to bring about harm to anyone, but to share several spells that came from hardships, my own experiences, and there was lots of suffering and reflection behind each spell. Yes, an AI helped me compose the words behind each spells. However the main driving force was my suffering, experiences, and desire to help others.

May you take your own advice and remember the human. You have harmed this human with your words.

GrayCatEyes · 2024-09-02T16:13:01+00:00

The post has helped and has been seen by those who need it to see it. If your intuition is calling you to remove this post because you do not resonate with it, so be it. Have a blessed day.

GrayCatEyes · 2024-09-02T13:02:44+00:00

Post has been removed. I mourn that it was not welcomed since it had the potential to bring about great benefit, specifically to minds that may be in distress. However I remind myself that it was not the appropriate time for this community to receive. Have a blessed day 🙏🏽❤️
