Tara is Sanskrit for savior, she is the feminine embodiment of compassion. She is said to have been born of the tears of Avalokiteshvara, in order to help him in his work. He is committed to assist all beings in times of great peril; all one has to do is to turn to him for help. In this manner, Tara is also committed to releasing all sentient beings from suffering, and to do this she helps them to brush away fear and protects them from danger. She has 21 forms, and embodies the feminine aspect of compassion. She has multiple colors and energies, including wrathful forms, and is an important aspect of the Vajrayana tradition. The most common forms are Green Tara, White Tara, and Red Tara. Our silver medallion is that of Green Tara. Her color indicates awakened activity, and corresponds to the Karma family. Green Tara sits in the lalita asana, with one leg as if she is about to get up. The symbolism implicit in her leg mudras indicate that while she is free from the attachments to samsara, she remains to assist all who suffer. Her right had is in varada mudra, while her left hand is in the abhaya mudra, the mudra of protection, telling us to abandon fear. The full moon behind her symbolizes her inexhaustible joy. Her Mantra: Om Tare Tom So Ha! This page to dedicated to the loving memory of Chagdud Rinpoche, beloved guru!
