Green Tara Tibetan Buddhist Figurine | Sacred Goddess of Compassion

Green Tara is iconographically depicted as a swift and compassionate female bodhisattva embodying enlightened activity and fearless protection. She is most often shown seated in a relaxed royal ease posture (lalitasana), with one leg extended forward symbolizing her readiness to step down into the world and respond instantly to the suffering of beings. Her right hand is extended in the gesture of supreme generosity (varada mudra), while her left hand holds the stem of a blue utpala lotus that blossoms beside her shoulder, representing purity and spiritual awakening. Adorned with jeweled ornaments and a five-jeweled crown, she expresses the sambhogakaya aspect of enlightened energy. Her youthful, serene expression and slightly dynamic posture emphasize her role as the “mother of liberation,” swiftly removing fears, obstacles, and dangers. In some traditions, she is surrounded by auras of light or depicted with multiple forms, highlighting her active, ever-responsive compassion.
