Green Tara - Savior of Compassion Matted print 16" x 20"

The great goddess of Wisdom manifests herself in the Tara's, Green Tara being the most dynamic manifestation. Traditionally she is described, along with White Tara, as being born from the tears shed by the Bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara. He is the archangel of Tibet and is reincarnated in the Dalai Lama. When he wept seeing the extent of suffering in the world, from his tears sprang the lotus flowers from which the Tara’s were born. As goddesses of divine energy and transcendent wisdom, they gave Avalokiteshvara the courage to continue his impossible task of delivering all beings from suffering. Green Tara is also revered as the miraculous savior of compassion who rescues people from the perils of suffering, particularly from dark or dangerous forces.
