About Tara

Tara, revered in Vajrayana and Mahayana Buddhism, is a female bodhisattva and the consort of Avalokiteshvara. Known as "venerable mother of liberation," she responds to the suffering of beings in saṃsāra. In Vajrayana, she's considered a Buddha, beyond saṃsāra and nirvāṇa. Tara is prominent in texts like the Tārā Tantra and Guhyasamāja Tantra, with key practices outlined in texts such as the Mother of All the Tathagatas Tantra. Revered in Tibetan and Newar Buddhism, Tara manifests in numerous forms, with the green Tara being the most revered. Her mantra, "oṃ tāre tuttāre ture svāhā," is widely recited.
