White Tara Thangka 28 in x 52 in

White Tara symbolizes the healing energy of compassion. She is depicted seated in a meditation posture on a lotus throne. Her white color represents purity, transcendence, and eliminating obstacles on the path to enlightenment.

White Tara’s right hand is in the gesture of granting wishes and her left hand holds the stem of a lotus flower, symbolizing purity and spiritual unfoldment. She is usually depicted with seven eyes—three on her face (representing her ability to see the past, present, and future) and one on each of her palms and soles of her feet (symbolizing her watchfulness and omnipresence). This iconography underscores her vigilance in aiding sentient beings and her ability to respond to their needs with compassion.

White Tara is a Bodhisattva—a being who has attained enlightenment but chooses to remain in the cycle of birth and death to help others. She is particularly revered for her compassionate activity in alleviating suffering and protecting beings from physical, emotional, and spiritual harm.

Repetition of the White Tara mantra, OM TARE TUTTARE MAMA AYUH PUNYA JNANA PUSTIM KURU SVAHA invokes her blessings for healing, longevity, and the fulfillment of aspirations.
