Tara, literally “star” in Indian vocabulary represents the pinnacle of compassion in Buddhism. Born from the tears shed by Bodhisattva Avalokiteshwara, Tara stands out in the Buddhist tradition as the great savior, whose benevolence can be compared to that of a mother, a quality in whose praise she is regarded as the mother of all the Buddhas.
Presented here in wood, is the “Mandala” of Tara’s twenty-one forms evoked in the Tibetan Atisha tradition, which draws from the Indian Tantric systems around the worship of the divine saviouress.
