Green Tara Statue
Beloved Green Tara (Drolma) is a female bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism and a female Buddha in Vajrayana Buddhism. She is an important aspect of the Sacred Feminine as well as within NDF and Wonderwell.
Green Tara's primary role is savioress. She is believed to help her devotees overcome dangers, fears and anxieties, and she is especially worshipped for her ability to overcome the most difficult of situations. Green Tara is intensely compassionate and acts quickly to help those who call upon her.
"On a lotus seat, standing for realization of voidness, (You are) the emerald-colored, one-faced, two-armed Lady in youth's full bloom. Right leg out, left drawn in, showing the union of wisdom and art - homage to you! Like the outstretched branch of the heavenly turquoise tree, your supple right hand makes the boon-granting gesture, inviting the wise to a feast of supreme accomplishments as if to an entertainment - homage to you! Your left hand gives us refuge, showing the Three Jewels; It says, "You people who see a hundred dangers, don't be frightened - I shall swiftly save you!" Homage to you! Both hands signal with blue utpala flowers, "Samsaric beings! Cling not to worldly pleasures. Enter the great city of liberation!" Flower-goads prodding us to effort - homage to you!" --- First Dalai Lama (1391-1474)
This beautiful brass statue measures 14.5" high and has been a precious presence within Janine's alter and practice space. She looks forward to someone else enjoying this lovely Tara!
