The Manifestations of Compassion: Collection of the Twenty-One Taras
The Twenty-One Tara Sculpture Set is a magnificent collection of Tara's incarnations. Tara is a female Bodhisattva of compassion, protection, and prompt assistance in Tibetan Buddhism. This complete set, each sculpture measuring 21cm in height and resting on a 14cm base, weighs 33.16 kg altogether. The main image of Green Tara, marginally bigger than her twenty incarnations, with 33cm height and 19cm base, represents both her dominance and the variety of facets of her compassion. This set, made of copper bodies and embellished with 24K gold gilding and acrylic and gold paintings, perfectly captures Tara's heavenly spirit in all of her manifestations.
Every Tara in the collection stands for a different facet of altruistic deeds and bestows special blessings that range from disease and obstacle surmounting to safety in perilous circumstances. The central Green Tara sculpture, distinguished by her larger size, is a powerful symbol of active compassion and readiness to come to the aid of beings. The intricate detailing and vibrant colors highlight the unique attributes and symbols associated with each manifestation, making this set a profound tool for meditation, reflection, and spiritual practice.
