The mountain Wu-t'ai-shan in the province of Shan-si is sacred to him and is covered with temples erected in his honour.
We may therefore suppose that the idea arose in India about 650 A.D. By that date the temples of Wu-t'ai-Shan would have had time to become celebrated, and the visits paid to India by distinguished Chinese Buddhists would be likely to create the impression that China was a centre of the faith and frequented by Bodhisattvas.
In 824 a Tibetan envoy arrived at the Chinese Court to ask for an image of Mañjuśrî, and later the Grand Lamas officially recognized that he was incarnate in the Emperor. Another legend relates that Mañjuśrî came from Wu-t'ai-Shan to adore a miraculous lotus that appeared on the lake which then filled Nepal.
