Constantly apply cheerfulness, if for no other reason than because you are on this spiritual path. Have a sense of gratitude to everything, even difficult emotions, because of their potential to wake you up.

Green Tara (Goddess of compassion)

Talon Abraxas

Green Tara possesses the immense power of a divine being and the immense opulence of a divine being, as well as all of these precious jewels, which she can use to alleviate the suffering or poverty of all living things. She has a crown ornament that resembles a hat on the crown of her head, and a red figure is in the very center of that. The Buddha Amitabha, who is always red in color, is represented by that red figure at the very center of the reddish halo around her head. Green Tara signifies the energy winds of the body and breath, as well as the element of a Buddha that protects us from fear. Tara's influence is our ability to act, to move through life and to achieve our goals. Her name literally means "woman who ferries across."

Types of Green Tara

We can find ten different types of green tara on the basis of their symbolism, appearance, mudra, and iconography, each Tara is distinct from the others.

Vasya Tara

The European style of sitting known as Bhadrasana is Vasyatara's signature pose. She is, however, described as being single, and as such she is not accompanied by any gods or goddesses. She is portrayed by the Khadiravani class accompanied by Taras.

Arya Tara

This form of Tara is distinguished by the fact that she sits in the Ardhaparyahka posture and like Vasyatara she is completely alone. Vasyatara is said to have another name for Arya Tara. In the Ardhaparyahka posture, she is seated alone. She is green and has two arms.

Mahattari Tara

She wears ornaments and a crown with an image of Amoghasiddhi on it. Ekajata is seated in the ardhan pose and carries an angry face with a swelling abdomen. She holds the kartri and the kapala in her two arms and wears a dress made of tiger skin. Arya, jahguli is to the left of Mahasri Tara, Asokokanta, and Mahamayuri are to the right. Her green color comes from the Dhyani Buddha Amoghasiddhi.

Varada Tara

Varada Tara sits in the Ardhaparyanka position like Aryatara however she can be effortlessly perceived by the presence of four goddesses Asokakanta Marici, Mahamauri, Ekajata, and Janguli.

Durgottarani Tara

Durgottarini Tara has a green complexion, sits on a lotus, and wears white clothing. She has four arms, and the first pair of her hands are used to hold a noose and a goad. The second pair of her hands are used to show the Varada mudra and the lotus.

Dhanada Tara

Wealth Granting Tara is another name for Dhanada tara. Her second right hand is holding a rosary, and her first right hand is making the ultimate gesture of generosity. Utpala and a book are held in her two left hands. She has an animal as her Vahana, is accompanied by eight goddesses named after the eight vowels in her mantra, and her crown features an image of Amoghasiddhi. She sits in the sattva posture and is adorned with jewels and silks. She is surrounded by eight other Taras of varying hues and appearances, in addition to the four guards at her palace's entrances.

Jahguli Tara

Jahguli Tara can be yellow, white or green depending on where it comes from in Aksobhya. She carries the Trisula, the peacock's feathers and a snake in three of her hands when she is green, and she performs the Abhaya mudra with the fourth hand.

Parnasaban Tara

Parnasaban comes in different forms and colors. Some of them are as follows:

Parnasaban (green parnasaban)

When Parnasaban is green, it is emitted by Amoghasiddhi.

Parnasaban (yellow parnasaban)

Aksobhya is represented by Parnasaban in its yellow form. Parnasaban is typically three-faced and six-armed, but may have four arms in rare cases. The green variety is unique in that all three faces depict irritated smiles.

Thangkas of White Tara, Guru Rinpoche, Shakyamuni Buddha, and Chenrezig

"...the Peony has long been a deeply significant flower for Chinese culture (cultivated all the way back to 900 BC), and it’s also commonly known to the Chinese as the "Flower of Riches and Honor." It is common to see Peonies in paintings, ceramics and other household items in Asia.

Aside from the Lotus flower it is one of the most common flowers painted as a sacred offering flower in thangkas, or Tibetan paintings. It is commonly seen in Chinese, Korean and Japanese art as well."

[hindulivesmatter]

I was browsing on internet looking at bodhisattva tara painting from nepal and tibet. I mistakingly the painting of parvati and shiva as bodhisattva tara and avalokitesvara. Even in tibetan thangka i mistakingly see saraswati as bodhisattva tara just because both of them have white skin

Their paintings and sculptures are always so pretty aahhhhhh.

I recently went to Sikkim last year, and we visited multiple monasteries and I think it was my favorite part of the whole trip. The colors, the incense, the serenity. Love it all.

Lovely thangka painting with antique finish of White Tara, the bodhisattva of long-life. She has three eyes on her face and an eye on each palm of the hands and feet for a total of seven. The right hand rests across the knee in the gesture (mudra) of supreme generosity. The left hand holds to the heart the stem of a white lotus with pink shading; blossoming at the left ear.

Om Tare Tu Tare Ture Mamaayuh Punya Janan Pustim Kuru Svaha

This Thangka is handpainted by the Nepali Thangka Artist from Bhaktapur, Nepal.

White Tara is peaceful deity sitting in vajra posture above a moon disc and lotus seat she is surrounded by a nimbus of various coloured rings and with pink lotus blossoms.

White Tara’s body is made of light. Transparent, it appears and yet is intangible, like a rainbow, mirage, or illusion.

In this way, her body represents the compatibility of the two truths conventional and ultimate. On the conventional level, she appears and exists.

White Tara conventionally appears, like an illusion, but ultimately cannot be found and is empty of an inherent essence.

She is the goddess of Increase Life and Wisdom. It is believed that White Tara is associated with Avalokitesvara, the god of compassion, and considered his female counterpart.
