2.66 Green Tara [14]

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.

The Green Tara holds a blue lotus flower in each hand.

The two deities at the bottom left and right are Avalokiteshvara and a »peaceful« Vajrapani. Both are rare iconographic representations. Avalokiteshvara has a light (= white) body color and an antelope hanging over his shoulder towards his belly. This is one of his typical features. The »peaceful» Vajrapani is blue and holds his left hand in exactly the same position [leaning on the throne behind the left knee].
