GreenTara / Drolma – The Rescuer
Green Tara/ Drolma is arguably the most beloved goddess in the Buddhist pantheon. She isthe female embodiment of the enlightened compassion and miraculous deeds of allthe Buddhas, offering protection and assistance to all who face challenges intheir lives. She vowed that until all suffering was eliminated, she would workcontinuously in a woman's body for the benefit of sentient beings. Thus, GreenTara represents the very essence of virtuous and enlightened activity.
Green,being the color of nature and flourishing life, signifies her energetic andvivacious personality. She is always depicted as a beautiful and vigorous youngwoman with a touch of playfulness. In this sense she teaches us not to takeourselves too seriously. She delights in a receptive mind and an open heart,for in such a person her blessings and wisdom can naturally unfold.
