In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Green Tara is believed to have arisen from the compassionate tears of Chenrezig(Avalokiteshvara), the Bodhisattva of Compassion. As he witnessed the vast suffering of sentient beings, a tear fell from his left eye, forming a sacred lake. From this lake, Green Tara emerged a female expression of his compassion in active form. She made a profound vow to always take birth as a woman to assist those in need, defying the belief that enlightenment must appear in male form. Cherished for her swift and unconditional support, Green Tara is lovingly called the "Mother of all Buddhas" and the "Swift Liberator." Her immediate response to suffering, gentle presence, and limitless compassion have made her one of the most honored and beloved figures in the Buddhist tradition.
