Revered as a female Buddha and the embodiment of enlightened activity, Tara—whose name is often understood as “Savior” or “Liberator”—stands among the most beloved figures in Tibetan Buddhism. According to one of her most celebrated origin stories, Tara arose from a single tear shed by Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, as he contemplated the immense suffering of sentient beings. Moved by his compassion, Tara made a resolute vow to attain enlightenment in a female form and to remain dedicated to liberating all sentient beings from the cycle of samsara for as long as suffering remains.
