In Tibetan Buddhist practice, Green Tara is employed as a yidam — a personal meditation deity whose qualities the practitioner seeks not merely to venerate but to embody through sustained visualization, mantra recitation, and ritual identification. A yidam practice is not the worship of an external figure but the gradual recognition of the deity’s qualities as inseparable from the nature of one’s own mind. In this context, Green Tara is known as the “Buddha of enlightened activity” — an emanation of Amoghasiddhi whose specific quality is the all-accomplishing wisdom that perceives the right action at the right moment and carries it out without obstacle or delay. To practice Tara as yidam is to cultivate precisely that quality in oneself: the capacity to respond to suffering immediately, effectively, and without self-referential hesitation.
Gold Green Tara Statue Features
Green Tara is depicted in lalitasana — royal ease posture — on a double lotus throne, left leg folded and right leg extended. Her right hand displays the Varada mudra and both hands hold the stems of the utpala lotus flowers, one blossoming fully over her right shoulder — the realized fruits of dedicated Dharma practice — and one unopened over her left shoulder — the potential that awaits those who apply themselves to the path.
