Who is Green Tara?

Green Tara, known in Tibetan as Drolma or Sgrol-ma, is revered as the "Mother of Liberation" in Tibetan Buddhism. As a female bodhisattva of compassion and swift action, she embodies the active aspect of enlightened energy, responding immediately to the prayers of those who call upon her for protection and guidance.

Divine Features and Posture

The statue captures Green Tara in her iconic posture, seated in lalitasana with her right leg extended, symbolizing readiness to step into the world to help beings. Her serene face features downcast eyes radiating compassion and wisdom. The right hand displays the varada mudra (gesture of supreme generosity), while the left hand holds the stem of a blue lotus near her heart in vitarka mudra, representing the blossoming of spiritual teaching.

Sacred Symbolism and Meaning

This statue represents swift compassionate action and protection from fears. The extended right foot symbolizes Tara's readiness to arise and assist devotees instantly, while the lotus flowers blooming beside her shoulders signify purity emerging from the mud of suffering.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom

Green Tara fulfills the promise of Avalokiteshvara, born from his tears of compassion for suffering beings, vowing to work tirelessly until all sentient beings achieve liberation from samsara.

Sacred Mantra

“Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha”

This powerful mantra invokes Tara's protection and blessings. "Tare" means liberation from suffering, "Tuttare" signifies freedom from inner fears, and "Ture" represents protection from physical dangers, while "Soha" seals the prayer's intention.
