Who is White Tara? 

White Tara (Tibetan: Sgrol-dkar), the "Mother of All Buddhas," embodies compassionate longevity and healing wisdom. Known as Sita Tara in Sanskrit, she extends life, removes obstacles to health, and offers protection from untimely death while nurturing practitioners with motherly care on their journey toward enlightenment.

Divine Features and Posture

White Tara sits gracefully in padmasana (lotus posture), radiating peaceful serenity. Her most distinctive feature is seven wisdom eyes—three on her face, including her third eye, and one on each palm and sole—symbolizing her omniscient awareness of suffering throughout all realms. Her right hand displays the varada mudra (gesture of supreme generosity), while her left hand holds a lotus stem near her heart in vitarka mudra (teaching gesture), signifying the transmission of dharma wisdom.

Sacred Symbolism and Meaning

This statue represents longevity, healing, and all-seeing compassion. The seven eyes symbolize White Tara's ability to perceive suffering in all directions and times, while her white complexion embodies the pacification of illness, obstacles, and negative forces.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom

Buddhist scriptures praise White Tara as the bestower of long life and prosperity. The "Praise to the Twenty-One Taras" describes her as the peaceful aspect of enlightened activity, whose compassionate gaze watches over all beings with protective, maternal love.

Sacred Mantra

“Om Tare Tuttare Ture Mama Ayuh Punya Jnana Pustim Kuru Soha”

This longevity mantra invokes White Tara's blessings, with "Mama Ayuh" requesting long life, "Punya" seeking merit accumulation, and "Jnana Pustim Kuru" asking for wisdom's increase, culminating in "Soha" to firmly establish these blessings within one's being.
