Vita Tara (White Tara)

White Tara is the female Bodhisattva of compassionate activity, the supreme mother and collective manifestation of the enlightened activity of all the Buddhas. She is said to see all suffering and respond to requests for help. Her yogic method promotes health and extending one's lifespan. Following an overview of meditative practices in Buddhist traditions and the method of deity yoga in Tibetan Buddhism by Professor Gardiner, Khen Rinpoche will give a White Tara blessing and lead a guided meditation in White Tara practice. A condensed text (sadhana) will be available for daily practice. Open to all, regardless of prior initiation or practice. (fac.umass.edu, 2022-08-08).
White Tara (Sitatara) is associated with long life. Her mantra is often chanted with a particular person in mind. She’s another representation of compassion, and she’s pictured as being endowed with seven eyes (look at the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and her forehead) to symbolize the watchfulness of the compassionate mind.
Unlike Green Tara, White Tara has both legs folded in meditation (Green Tara is stepping down onto a lotus). (wildmind.org, 2022-08-08)
