Who is Green Tara?

Green Tara, known in Tibetan as Drolma or Sgrol-ma, is the "Swift Liberator" – the most beloved female Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism. She embodies active compassion, fearless protection, and immediate response to the cries of those in need. Revered as the mother of all Buddhas, Green Tara is invoked for swift assistance in overcoming obstacles, fears, and dangers on the spiritual path.

Sacred Iconography: Dynamic Posture of Readiness

This statue magnificently portrays Green Tara in her characteristic lalitasana posture, with her right leg extended in readiness to spring into action to help sentient beings. Her right hand displays the varada mudra (gesture of supreme generosity), while her left hand holds the stem of an utpala lotus flower near her heart, symbolizing spiritual purity and compassion. Both hands form the vitarka mudra with thumb and index finger, representing the continuous turning of the Dharma wheel. Her alert, compassionate gaze conveys her constant vigilance over those who call upon her. The ornate five-peaked crown with its distinctive peacock plume signifies spiritual sovereignty and protection.

Sacred Symbolism and Meaning

Her vibrant green color represents the element of wind, signifying swift action and the dynamic energy of accomplishment. The extended leg demonstrates her readiness to step into the world to alleviate suffering instantly.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom
