The serene Green Tara, in her mode of compassion, not-wrathful taking no heads, coming into being from the tears of Avalokitesvara.

| Green Tara (Sanskrit:
"Syamatârâ", Tibetan: "sGrol ma ljang gu") is the embodiment of the
activity of all Buddhas. She offers us a hand to lift us up to a mountain
of enlightenment qualities. Tara belongs to the Karma family of
unobstructed compassionate activity.
She is known as the Swift One, due to her immediate response to those who request her aid. Furthermore she is known as the great liberator, specializing in overcoming obstacles in whatever form they manifest in our lives. No deity in the Buddhist pantheon is more popular than Tara. She is especially known for her power to overcome the most difficult situations, giving protection against dangers and all kinds of fear. |
