Description Green Tara’s iconography is filled with meanings that highlight her protective and loving nature. She is often shown in a position of “royal ease,” with her right leg outstretched, demonstrating her mastery of both internal and external challenges. Her right hand is often displayed in the varada mudra, a gesture of generosity and blessings, while her left hand is held in the abhaya mudra, a symbol of bravery and protection. The stem of a blue utpala flower, which stands for enlightenment and purity, is often in her hands. The Green Tara statue is deeply ingrained in the Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist traditions of unending love and compassion. Tibetan Buddhist devotees seek refuge in Green Tara from the “Eight Great Fears,” which encompass both internal hindrances like pride, illusion, and rage, as well as external dangers like fire, lions, and elephants. Through meditation on her picture and recitation of her mantra, practitioners aim to become more compassionate and wise. Green Tara practice awakens the devotee’s inner capacity for brave and kind deeds. For practitioners, the Green Tara monument serves as a potent focus place where they can engage with the embodiment of active compassion and loving-kindness, demonstrating the conviction that enlightenment is a living reality that can be achieved through attachment and committed work to lessen suffering.
