Who is White Tara?

White Tara, known as Sita Tara in Sanskrit, is the embodiment of compassionate action, longevity, and healing in Buddhist tradition. Born from a tear of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, she represents the active feminine principle of enlightenment, offering protection, health, and long life to all who invoke her blessings.

Sacred Iconography and Divine Features

This statue portrays White Tara seated in lalitasana, the posture of royal ease, with her right leg extended and left folded, symbolizing her readiness to rise and assist suffering beings. Her seven eyes—three on her face, one on each palm, and one on each sole—represent her omniscient awareness that sees all suffering throughout the universe. Her right hand forms the varada mudra, the gesture of supreme generosity, while her left hand holds a lotus stem near her heart in the vitarka mudra, symbolizing the teaching of dharma. The elaborate five-pointed crown signifies mastery over the five wisdoms.

Sacred Symbolism and Meaning

White Tara symbolizes the nurturing aspect of enlightened wisdom, offering protection from the eight fears and obstacles to spiritual progress. Her white color represents purity, transcendence, and the light of wisdom. The lotus flowers beside her signify spiritual growth rising from worldly existence, while her seven eyes demonstrate vigilant compassion watching over all beings.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom

Known as Saptalocana Tara—"Tara of the Seven Eyes"—ancient texts describe her as the swift liberator who responds immediately to sincere prayers. The Tara Tantra teaches that her practice brings longevity, merit, and ultimate liberation, making her among the most beloved deities in Tibetan and Nepalese Buddhism.

Sacred Mantra

“Om Tare Tuttare Ture Mama Ayuh Punya Jnana Pustim Kuru Svaha”

This powerful longevity mantra invokes White Tara's blessings, meaning "Om Tara, swift liberator, please increase my lifespan, merit, and wisdom." Regular recitation is believed to grant protection, long life, and spiritual growth.
