Tara Statues

Tara is one of the most venerated deities of Tibetan Buddhism. Her name means she who liberates, or she who carries across. She is regarded as the mother of all Buddhas, the embodiment of compassion in female form. People in Tibet, Nepal and around the world turn to her every day, in moments of need, of gratitude and of quiet connection. Tara has 21 known forms, and the most widely venerated are Green Tara and White Tara.

Green Tara is the Tara of active help. Her right leg is slightly extended, ready to rise and help. Her right hand is open in the gesture of giving, while her left holds a blue lotus flower. She is called upon in moments of fear and urgency, and her mantra Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha is among the most recited in the Tibetan tradition. In the tradition, White Tara is associated with long life, healing and inner peace. She is often depicted with seven eyes, a symbol of her all-seeing wisdom.

A Tara statue on the altar is an invitation for compassion to enter your own life. Our Tara statues are handcrafted by Tibetan artisans in the Himalayas with iconographic accuracy. Each statue is cast and reworked individually, so no two are exactly alike.
