A Tara in Buddhism is a feminine peace manifestation of enlightening wisdom. There are 21 different shapes, all called Tara in all colors of the rainbow, such as the Green Tara and the White Tara respectively. the deities of motherhood and of action. In these two favorite guises she sits on a throne of lotus and moon and when she puts out one leg it means she is ready to act. Tara literally means the savior. In Buddhism, Tara is an emanation of the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. It arose from tears that Avalokitesvara flowed out of compassion for all beings. Tara, therefore, is above all the essence (deity) of compassion. She is the mother of the Tibetan people and is known as a devout queen or consort. Call on her or take her mandala and she will fly in to help.
