The Mother of Liberation and embodiment of active compassion, represents swift protection, fearlessness, wisdom, and enlightened activity. She is traditionally depicted seated in the graceful royal ease posture (Lalitasana) upon a lotus pedestal, with her right leg extended forward symbolizing her readiness to rise and assist beings without hesitation. Her right hand extends in the Varada Mudra, the gesture of generosity and compassionate blessings, while her left hand is raised near her heart holding the stem of an utpala lotus, representing purity, wisdom, and spiritual awakening. The lotus blossoms beside her shoulders symbolize the flourishing of enlightened qualities, while her serene expression, jeweled ornaments, and celestial garments reflect the radiant nature of a Bodhisattva. This sacred representation inspires practitioners to cultivate courage, compassion, inner strength, and the wisdom to overcome fears and obstacles on the path toward liberation.

Green Tara is one of the most beloved figures in the Buddhist tradition, known as the "Saviouress" who protects against the eight internal and external fears, including pride, ignorance, and attachment. Born from a tear of Avalokiteshvara, she represents the active, feminine aspect of enlightened compassion. Unlike many deities who remain in deep meditation, Green Tara is always poised for action, depicted with one leg stepped forward to provide immediate aid to those who call upon her mantra.
