Tārā · Green Tārā

🪷缘起

Green Tārā, from Avalokiteśvara's tear, heads the Twenty-one Tārās (Tārā Tantras). One foot extended shows swift rescue; she holds a utpala flower, averting the eight perils.

🔮寓意

Green Tārā means 'swift compassion.' Wearing her image keeps a refuge in crisis, turning peril to safety with resilience—esp. for travel, health, urgency.

📿形制

Half-seated, right foot on a lotus, holding a blue lotus, green body; thangka, silver/copper pendant, card.

💬答疑

Q: Tārā vs Guanyin? A: Tārā emanated from Guanyin's compassion—Guanyin hears the cry, Tārā sees the peril; one essence, two functions.
