Mommy Goddess Part 4: Green Tara

The Buddhist Goddess Green Tara was born from  the lake of compassionate tears shed by Buddha Avalokiteshvara.

The meaning of the name “Tara” is savioress, and from the very moment of her cosmic birth, she vowed to remove the suffering of all sentient beings and to lead them to enlightenment.  She is known as Mother of the Buddhas, and can be prayed to by all those who seek help, solace, comfort and solutions to their problems.  Her face is peaceful and smiling, she sits on a lotus blossom, carries an uptala flower in her right hand, and is adorned with precious gems.

Her mantra is very beautiful, and just listening to it can soothe the soul.
