Green Tara, also called Shyama Tara, holds a cherished place in Tibetan Buddhism as the living symbol of compassionate deeds. Often hailed as the "Mother of all Buddhas," her story begins with the compassionate tears of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), from which she emerged in a female form. This peaceful goddess dedicates herself to freeing beings from suffering, embodying kindness in every action she takes.
