Who is Green Tara?

Green Tara, known as Shyama Tara in Sanskrit, embodies the active compassion of all Buddhas. Born from Avalokiteshvara's tears of compassion for suffering beings, she vowed to remain in female form to guide all sentient beings to liberation. As the "Mother of Liberation," she offers immediate assistance to those who call upon her, particularly protecting from the eight fears: lions (pride), elephants (delusion), fire (anger), snakes (jealousy), thieves (wrong views), imprisonment (avarice), floods (attachment), and demons (doubt).

Divine Form and Sacred Gestures

Green Tara's compassionate gaze radiates both serenity and alertness, ever-watchful for those in need. Her right hand extends in the varada mudra (gesture of supreme generosity), offering blessings and fulfillment of wishes, while her left hand holds a blue utpala lotus at her heart in the vitarka mudra (teaching gesture). She sits in lalitasana—royal ease posture—with her right leg extended, symbolizing readiness to spring into action. This dynamic pose distinguishes her from other deities, representing her swift response to devotees' prayers.

Sacred Symbolism and Meaning

The statue embodies liberation, fearlessness, and maternal protection. Her recognized green color represents active enlightenment and connection to the natural world's healing energies. The lotus throne signifies rising above worldly suffering while remaining rooted in compassion.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom

The Praise to the Twenty-One Taras describes her as "Swift One, Heroine" (Ture), emphasizing her immediate response to suffering. Tibetan masters teach that invoking Tara is like calling one's mother—she never refuses her children.

Sacred Mantra

“Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha”

This powerful mantra invokes Green Tara's swift protection and liberation from all obstacles, translating to "Om—homage to Tara, who liberates from suffering and protects from fears."
