Who is Green Tara?

Green Tara, known as Shyama Tara in Sanskrit, is the beloved "Mother of Liberation" who embodies swift compassion and active protection. Born from a tear of Avalokiteshvara's compassion, she vowed to attain enlightenment in female form and manifest instantly to aid suffering beings. Revered across Tibetan Buddhism, she is the goddess who responds immediately to prayers, offering refuge from fear and obstacles.

Graceful Posture and Divine Features

This stunning statue portrays Green Tara in her characteristic lalitasana pose of royal ease. Her right leg extends gracefully, symbolizing readiness to spring into action, while her left remains folded in meditative composure—balancing wisdom with compassionate intervention. Her serene face features gentle, downcast eyes expressing boundless compassion and mindful awareness. The right hand extends in varada mudra (gesture of supreme generosity), granting wishes and blessings, while the left hand holds a blue utpala flower at her heart in vitarka mudra, representing purity and spiritual teachings. Her elaborate five-pointed crown adorned with precious stones signifies her enlightened nature, and her youthful beauty embodies the ever-fresh quality of compassion.

Sacred Symbolism and Meaning

Each element carries profound significance. The lotus blossoms beside her represent spiritual unfolding untainted by worldly concerns. The turquoise, coral, and lapis inlays symbolize the integration of earth, water, and sky energies. Her recognized green complexion represents active enlightenment and the wind element, indicating swift response to devotees' calls.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom

Ancient texts proclaim: "Tara natha jagan natha"—Tara is the protectress of the world. She embodies karuna(compassion) and upaya (skillful means) perfectly unified.

Sacred Mantra
