White Tara and Green Tara

Two Taras, two moods. White Tara is calm and healing. Green Tara leans forward, ready to help.

White Tara sits still with seven eyes — on her face, hands and feet — so she sees all suffering. People pray to her for health and long life.

Green Tara sits with one foot forward, about to stand. People call on her for quick help in danger or trouble.

See them side by side in our White & Green Tara painting, with mountains and shrines behind them.
