White Tara Statue for Compassion and Long Life

White Tara is associated with long life. She is an embodiment of compassion and is depicted with seven eyes to symbolize the vigilance of the compassionate mind. White Tara is considered the consort of Avalokiteshvara, sometimes also of Buddha Vairochana. She is often depicted together with Amitayus and Ushnisha Vijaya (Namgyalma). It is said that Tara protects people as they cross the ocean of existence.

This White Tara statue sits in full Vajra posture. She has additional eyes on her forehead, palms, and feet, and a lotus flower on both shoulders. She is dressed and crowned like a Bodhisattva, adorned with all kinds of precious ornaments and looks beautiful. Her right hand rests on her thigh in the mudra of unconditional devotion, while her left hand holds one of the two lotus flowers.

Let the White Tara statue serve as a reminder of the compassion that dwells within you, and be inspired by her presence to radiate this virtue into the world around you.
