"Hi, Yes, the package with Green Tara arrived very quickly, and was packaged as carefully as anything I have ever ordered. My husband and I were absolutely stunned at how beautiful this gentle, sweet statue is. It brought tears to my eyes. I was actually going to write you a little note to thank you.

This is a Christmas gift for my daughter Ravenna, who feels a special connection with Green Tara. She did not ask for a statue, and will be surprised to receive it. I cannot thank you enough for carrying this lovely object.

My daughter and I have practiced Tibetan Buddhism for about 20 years, and so I am familiar with the styles of statues. This is exactly what I was hoping to find. It took me just moments on the web to locate your business and find the perfect Green Tara statue.

Thank you so much, and good luck to you and your good business in 2008.

Tara's name means "One Who Saves". She epitomizes the influence of the older mother-goddess cults upon the Buddhist Mahayana religion. Her concept evolved in India and later she became the most important goddess in the Mahayana pantheon. She holds a very prominent position in Tibet and Nepal.

Tara was born from a tear of the Boddhisatva of Compassion, Avolokiteswora. She was conceived primarily as a savioress and is, therefore, the female counterpart of Avolokiteswora. She is also generally regarded as his consort and is frequently portrayed with him.

Tara is believed to protect the human beings while they are crossing the ocean of existence. Her compassion for living beings, her desire to save them from suffering, is said to be stronger than a mother's love for her children. Her most distinctive emblem is the blue lotus which she carries in her left hand.

Among the forms of Tara: when she is red, yellow and blue, she is in menacing mood; white or green she is gentle and loving. This is the same twofold nature as Shiva's wife.
