Green tara意思

"Green Tara" (ग्रीन तारा) is a Buddhist deity, a female Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism. She is considered a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion, and is often depicted as green in color. Green Tara is known for her swift response to the needs of those who call upon her, and she is particularly associated with protection, compassion, and the attainment of desires.

The name "Tara" means "star" in Sanskrit, and she is often referred to as the "Mother of all Buddhas" or the "Mother of Liberation." Green Tara is one of the most widely venerated deities in Tibetan Buddhism and is also popular in other Buddhist traditions. Her practice is particularly beneficial for overcoming obstacles, accomplishing goals, and achieving liberation from suffering.

Green Tara is often depicted seated or standing on a lotus, with her right hand extended in the gesture of granting boons (varada mudra) and her left hand resting on her knee, holding a lotus. Her green color symbolizes her association with the element of water, which represents wisdom and the growth of compassion.

Practitioners of Green Tara meditation seek to embody her qualities of compassion and wisdom, and to develop the ability to help others as she does. The practice of Green Tara is not only a means to personal enlightenment but also a way to benefit all sentient beings.
