Embodying Active Compassion with This Tibetan Buddhist Green Tara Figurine
Seated gracefully upon her double-lotus throne, this Green Tara Tibetan Buddhist figurine offers a beautiful gateway to swift protection and immediate compassionate aid for all beings. Standing 12.6”/32cm in height with an 8.5”/21.5cm base and weighing 4.12 kg, it is meticulously crafted from a copper body, hand-gilded in radiant 24K gold, and enhanced with fine acrylic painting and gemstone detailing. Made in Nepal, this sacred sculpture embodies a gentle, maternal presence, serving as a powerful focal point for daily meditation, devotion, and spiritual practice while inspiring fearless action and heartfelt 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.

Green Tara is revered in Vajrayana Buddhism as the mother of liberation and the consort of Amoghasiddhi. Emerging from the tears of Avalokiteshvara, she vowed to guide practitioners through the eight inner and outer fears. Her practice cultivates swift wisdom, obstacle clearance, and the ultimate realization of emptiness.
