The Embodiment of Compassion

Behold the serene presence of Green Tara, a beacon of enlightened activity and compassionate action in Tibetan Buddhism. This exquisitely crafted statue brings the essence of Tara's swiftness in aiding all beings to life, capturing her readiness to alleviate suffering and guide individuals toward liberation. Seated in the posture of royal ease, with one leg extended and ready to spring into action, she embodies immediate help for those who call upon her. The delicate tilt of her head and the gentle smile on her face radiate peace, wisdom, and unconditional love. Her right hand is held in the gesture of granting boons, while her left hand holds the stem of a lotus flower, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening.

Craftsmanship and Detail

This piece is a testament to the skill of Indian artisans. Created in brass, the statue is then meticulously inlaid with a mosaic of vibrant stones. The intricate detailing, from the flowing lines of her garments to the ornate jewelry adorning her neck and arms, showcases the rich artistic heritage of India. Each stone is carefully placed, creating a breathtaking tapestry of color that brings depth and vibrancy to the sculpture. Notice the delicate crown, the elaborate floral arrangements framing her shoulders, and the intricate patterns etched into the brass itself. These details are not merely decorative; they are symbolic representations of Tara's divine qualities and her connection to the natural world.

The Legend of Tara

Tara, whose name translates to "star," is revered as the Mother of all Buddhas, the embodiment of wisdom and compassion. Legend tells of a princess who, inspired by countless Buddhas, vowed to continue to act as a Bodhisattva until Samsara itself was empty. She was told to pray to be reborn as a man, but she insisted that there was no reason that only men could attain enlightenment. In some tellings, she vowed to be reborn as a woman in all future lives. Over countless eons, she continued to work on behalf of all beings. Finally, she was reborn as the goddess Tara, who vowed to lead others to enlightenment. In her most well-known form, as Green Tara, she stands as a symbol of active compassion. It is said that she manifests swiftly to answer the prayers of those in need, offering guidance, protection, and unwavering support on the path to enlightenment. This depiction reminds us that even in our darkest moments, divine help is always within reach.

A Sacred Addition

Owning this statue is not merely possessing a work of art; it is inviting the energy and blessings of Tara into your life and home. Place it on your altar, meditation space, or any area where you seek inspiration, peace, and a reminder of the boundless potential for compassion within yourself and the world. This handcrafted piece serves as a constant invitation to cultivate loving-kindness, overcome obstacles, and embrace the path to enlightenment. Its beauty and spiritual significance will enrich your surroundings and deepen your connection to the divine feminine.

Exploring the Mystical Beauty and Symbolism of Tara: An Insightful Journey

Tara is an important and revered deity in Tibetan Buddhism who appears as a female Bodhisattva. Buddhist monks and followers meditate on the image or deity of Tara to develop some good qualities such as compassion and kindness. Tara is known as the mother of compassion or liberation and is considered the female aspect of Avalokiteshvara (who possesses the compassion of all Buddhas). She manifests in different forms such as Green Tara and White Tara. Green Tara is associated with fearlessness and White Tara, as radiant as the moon, is associated with good health. Tara also appears in red, blue, and yellow colors.

Tara, being the ocean of compassion, descends to this material world to save fallen souls from the vicious cycle of repeated birth and death. Whoever visualizes and meditates upon the form of Tara crosses the ocean of material existence. She is often depicted as having a beautiful youthful body and sitting on a full-blown lotus resembling the form of Goddess Lakshmi.

She encourages them to walk the path of self-realization and to uplift their consciousness in order to come of material existence.

Just as a mother is very merciful towards her child; she cries when the child is in distress or pain, similarly, Tara acting as the mother of the world, is the embodiment of all compassion and mercy. She symbolizes various qualities such as peacefulness, empathy, wisdom, love, and kindness. She helps all living beings come to the real or true understanding of self. As a Buddhist practitioner concentrates on the form of Tara, he develops these qualities that help him advance in his spiritual journey.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?


Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

 

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

 

  • The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

 

 

  • To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.


  • In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth. 

 

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
