Description
The painting in the center shows a righteous bodhisattva tossing aside a blue-skinned heretic, while an impious blue-clad monk sits behind them, the next to be overpowered by the righteous one. In the painting on the left, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, Manjushri, brandishes his sword, and at the far right, a Buddhist priest (Vajracharya) sets fire to a Hindu sage in a rocky landscape.
