Tara is the Mother Goddess who
answers human supplication.
Tibetan
Buddhism numbers 21 Taras, often featuring seven all-seeing eyes of compassion
(three in the forehead, one in each palm and foot sole). White
Tara, the mild form of the goddess,
promises health, long life and prosperity. Green
Tara promotes growth, solves practical
problems and protects our everyday world.
But even in Her wrathful aspect, Tara's role is to dispel the
fear of death and foster the evolution of compassion. Notice her foot is
outstretched, instantly ready to meet her supplicants.
Tara's name means One Who Saves. She epitomizes the
influence of the older mother-goddess cults upon the Buddhist Mahayana
religion. Her concept evolved in India and later
she became the most important goddess in the Mahayana pantheon. She holds a very
prominent position in Tibet and Nepal.
Tara was born from a tear of the Boddhisatva of
Compassion, Avolokiteswora. She was conceived primarily as a savioress and
generally regarded as his consort, frequently portrayed with him.
Tara is believed to protect humans while they are
crossing the ocean of existence. Her compassion for living beings, and her
desire to save them from suffering, is said to be stronger than a mother's love
for her children.
Her most distinctive emblem is the blue lotus which she
carries in her left hand.
Among the forms of Tara: when she is red, yellow and
blue, she is in a menacing mood; white or green she is gentle and loving. This
is the same twofold nature as Shiva's wife.
