A sacred representation of the feminine aspect of awakening, this piece is perfect for spiritual spaces, meditation altars, or as a centerpiece of refined Buddhist art.
Green Tara is portrayed seated gracefully on a lotus throne, representing purity and spiritual awakening. The lotus signifies her enlightened nature, untainted by worldly suffering. The throne and arch behind her feature intricate motifs, such as mythical animals or auspicious symbols, further emphasizing her protective and nurturing role. She sits with her right leg extended and her left leg folded. The extended leg demonstrates her readiness to spring into action to help those in need, while the folded leg reflects meditative serenity. Her right hand is extended downward, holding the Stem of the lotus, which signifies wisdom and compassion, the ability to remain pure and wise while actively engaging with the world’s suffering. Her left hand, held near her heart, forms the gesture of the Three Jewels Mudra and holds a utpala lotus. The Three Jewels Mudra symbolizes the Three Jewels of Buddhism: the Buddha, the Dharma (teachings), and the Sangha (community), and the lotus stands for purity, wisdom, and her transcendence over ignorance. Green Tara wears a five-leafed crown, often representing the five Dhyani Buddhas, adorned with rich jewelry and flowing robes, signifying her divine and enlightened qualities. Her face is depicted as calm and compassionate, embodying her boundless mercy for all beings.
