GREEN TARA


Height 32cm




Green Tara is regarded as the spiritual consort of Amogasiddhi, one the Dhyani Buddhas. Her portrayal is similar to that of the White Tara, however Green Tara holds a half-closed lotus or water lily with long petals, often blue, in her hand. In the Tibetan tradition, Tara is incarnated in all good women. She is also known to have mortal incarnations in historic persons, such as Nepalese and Chinese princesses who married the great king Srang-Tsan Gampo, who is credited with introducing Buddhism into Tibet and China. Green Tara is mainly worshiped because she brings all that is good in women. Moreover, the cultivation of Tara sadhana will eliminate all demonic and karmic obstacles, eradicate disaster and lengthen oneユs lifespan.
