Description: :
Tara's name means One Who Saves.
She epitomizes the influence of the
older mother-goddess cults upon the Buddhist Mahayana religion. Her
concept evolved in India and later she became the most important
goddess in the Mahayana pantheon. She holds a very prominent position
in Tibet and Nepal. Tara was born from a tear of the Boddhisatwa of
Compassion, Avolokiteswora. She was conceived primarily as a savioress
and is, therefore, the female counterpart of Avolokiteswora. She is
also generally regarded as his consort and is frequencly protrayed with
him. Tara is believed to protect the human beings while they are
crossing the ocean of existence. Her compassion for living beings, her
desire to save them from suffering, is said to be stronger than a
mother's love for her children. Her most distinctive emblem is the blue
lotus which she carries in her left hand. Among the forms of Tara: when
she is red, yellow and blue, she is in menacing mood; white or green
she is gentle and loving. This is the same twofold nature as Shiva's
wife.
