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.
