Green Tara, known as Shyama Tara, is one of the most beloved deities in Tibetan Buddhism. She is regarded as the embodiment of compassionate action and is often referred to as the "Mother of all Buddhas." Green Tara is believed to have been born from the compassionate tears of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), taking a female form to help liberate beings from suffering.
