Green Tara, also known as Shyama Tara, is one of the most beloved deities in Tibetan Buddhism and is revered as the embodiment of compassion in action. She is considered the mother of all Buddhas. She is especially known as a swift savior who responds instantly to the prayers of those seeking protection, guidance, and liberation from suffering. Green Tara represents enlightened activity—her extended right leg symbolizes her readiness to step into the world to help beings. In contrast, her left leg remains folded in meditation, signifying inner wisdom and balance. Devotees call upon her for protection from fears, obstacles, and dangers, as well as for blessings of compassion, healing, and spiritual awakening.
