The appearance of Manjushri Bodhisattva is with one hand holding a sword and the other hand holding a scripture.

Many summers ago, Liu Ruo-yu secluded herself in an old house on a remote island for 36 days. In the darkness of her meditation and deep practice, she suddenly saw her illusory self. At that moment, thunder rumbled in the sky, and the old house dripped with water everywhere... Hence came "Clearing the Grass to Find the Snake". In Eastern culture, the 'snake' represents wisdom and human nature. Amidst the chaos of thoughts and illusions, not knowing where that 'nature' lies, she took a stick and cleared away the grass to find the 'snake'. The 'snake' could also symbolize cunningness, deceit, and various relationships. Finding that heart, whether it's genuine or fake, she used a self-mocking person, a sorrowful person, both struggling, both conversing.
