Who is Green Tara?

Green Tara (Tibetan: Pagma Drolma), also known as "Shyama Tara" in Sanskrit, is revered as the "Mother of Liberation" in Tibetan Buddhism. This compassionate goddess embodies swift action and protection, offering immediate assistance to devotees facing obstacles and fears. As the feminine aspect of Avalokiteshvara, she represents active compassion that responds instantly to prayers.

Divine Features and Sacred Posture

This magnificent statue captures Green Tara's iconic lalitasana pose, seated gracefully with her right leg extended, symbolizing readiness to leap into action to help sentient beings. Her serene golden face radiates infinite compassion, while her half-closed eyes represent the balance between meditation and active engagement with the world. Her arms hold sacred lotus flowers, symbolizing purity rising from muddy waters, and her hands display mudras of giving and protection, blessing all who seek her guidance.

Sacred Symbolism and Meaning

The statue embodies profound spiritual symbolism. Green represents Tara's association with enlightened activity and her connection to the wind element. Her lotus throne signifies rising above suffering, while the intricate crown represents her status as a fully enlightened being who chooses to remain accessible to help others achieve liberation.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom

In Buddhist tradition, Tara emerged from Avalokiteshvara's tears of compassion for suffering beings. The name "Tara" derives from the Sanskrit root "tri," meaning "to cross over," signifying her role as the one who helps beings cross the ocean of samsara to reach enlightenment's shore.
