Green Tara (Syamatara) is one of the most revered female Buddhas in Vajrayana Buddhism, particularly popular in Tibet and Nepal. She is believed to have been born from a tear of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion, to assist him in his work. Her primary role is to overcome obstacles, provide protection, and grant wishes, embodying the enlightened activity of all Buddhas. She is celebrated for her swift response to those who call upon her.
