Embodiment of Compassion and Swift Action

This exquisite brass statue captures the essence of Green Tara, a revered female bodhisattva in Tibetan Buddhism, renowned for her boundless compassion and swift response to the prayers of those in need. She is often depicted as a young, radiant woman, embodying the active, compassionate principle that tirelessly works to alleviate suffering and obstacles in the world. Her green complexion symbolizes her ability to overcome obstacles and her vibrant energy, representing nature and growth. According to legend, Tara emerged from a single tear shed by the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara as he wept for the suffering of sentient beings. From that tear, a lotus bloomed, and upon it sat the goddess Tara, who vowed to help all beings achieve enlightenment and overcome fear. She is seen as the mother of liberation, the one who ferries beings across the ocean of suffering. Her twenty-one forms, each with distinct attributes and practices, offer a diverse range of blessings and solutions to various challenges.

A Symbol of Protection and Enlightenment

In this beautifully crafted representation, Green Tara is depicted in a posture of serene alertness, seated upon a lotus throne. Her right leg is slightly extended, symbolizing her readiness to descend and offer assistance at any moment. Her left hand holds the stem of a lotus flower, a symbol of purity and enlightenment, which blooms beside her, often depicted with three blossoms representing the past, present, and future Buddhas. Her right hand is in the gesture of *varada mudra*, the boon-granting gesture, extending outwards to bless and offer protection. The intricate details of the brass casting speak to the devotion and skill of the artisan. Each fold of her garment, the subtle curves of her divine form, and the delicate ornamentation adorning her are rendered with precision, creating a palpable sense of her divine presence. This statue serves not only as a devotional object but also as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of compassion and the accessibility of divine aid.

A Sacred Companion for Your Space

This diminutive yet potent statue is perfect for creating a sacred space in your home or office. Its size makes it ideal for placement on an altar, desk, or bookshelf, serving as a constant source of inspiration and a focal point for meditation and prayer. Invoking Green Tara is believed to grant protection from fear, illness, and obstacles, and to foster wisdom and compassion. Possessing this statue is like having a direct connection to this benevolent deity, inviting her blessings and guidance into your life. It is a tangible representation of spiritual aspiration and a beautiful piece of devotional art.

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.

What is Tara the goddess of?

Tara is usually associated with Tibetan Buddhism but in Chinese Buddhism, she is considered the female manifestation of Guanyin. She is given the position of the supreme mother who is full of compassion and mercy. She enlightens living beings about the nature of this material world (temporary and full of miseries) and heals their emotional and physical wounds. She encourages them to walk the path of self-realization and to uplift their consciousness in order to come of material existence.

What does the statue of Tara symbolize?

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.

Where should Tara statues be placed?

If you are planning to buy the statue of Goddess Tara, you can keep it on the altar of your home. This will help you to focus better on Tara"e;s form and invoke her energy. The form of Tara is beautiful to look at and therefore, you can also place the statue/deity on a clean table or a shelf in your living room to spiritualize the entire space, leaving a positive impression on the guests.
