 A sadhana text for White Tara practice is available for download from this website. In Tibetan-Buddhist iconography - unlike the green form of this deity - White Tara has seven eyes: one in each hand and foot, and a third eye on her face. That way she is able to see and respond to suffering throughout the universe. Her radiant white color symbolizes her selflessness, her purity, and her compassion. Other than the Green Tara she sits in full lotus posture with the soles of her feet pointed upward. With her right hand she makes the boon-granting gesture while her left hand is shown doing the protection mudra. In her left hand, she holds an elaborate lotus flower that contains three phases of blooming, representing the past, present, and future. |
