		According to tradition in China the first day of the year is dedicated to Manjusri, who is considered by some to be the god of agriculture, by others the celestial architect who is believed to have inspired with his divine intelligence those who have been active in propagating the Buddha-Dharma.
		It is logical to assume that Manjusri has in like manner guided and inspired the monks, teachers and masters in the past as they developed and perfected the philosophy and practice of Buddhism that has been bequeathed to us.

		Knowing this gives Manjusri a kind of quiet dignity of forbearance, to be able to see clearly and endure all mental states, including suffering, knowing that all problems are already solved, and that there is no coming and going, no birth and death to worry about.
