The Meaning of Green Tara
Within Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Green Tara represents compassionate action—the willingness to respond when help is needed.
Her name, Tara, is often interpreted as “She Who Liberates” or “She Who Carries Across,” reflecting her traditional role in helping beings overcome fear, suffering, obstacles, and the cycle of samsara.
Green Tara is frequently portrayed seated in a relaxed yet attentive posture. One leg extends forward, symbolising her readiness to rise and assist those who call upon her, while her peaceful expression represents wisdom, kindness, and fearlessness.
Buddhist traditions also connect Tara with Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. In one well-known account, Tara arose from his tears of compassion after witnessing the suffering of sentient beings. She therefore came to embody compassion not only as a feeling, but as compassion expressed through action.
Green Tara Mantra
One of the best-known practices associated with Tara is the mantra:
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
For Buddhist practitioners, the mantra is traditionally recited while seeking Tara's guidance, compassionate presence, protection, and assistance in overcoming inner and outer obstacles.
Placed within a meditation or prayer space, a Green Tara Thangka can serve as a visual focus for contemplation, mantra practice, mindfulness, and reflection.
