Description:
Hand-painted Tibetan Buddhist image of Green Tara, executed in the traditional Menbris school style. The thangka is made of deep-colored powder ground from turquoise, with precise and smooth lines, rounded forms, and a gentle, youthful maiden's expression.
Green Tara is depicted as a sixteen-year-old maiden with an emerald-green complexion. She sits upon a lotus moon disc, with her left leg drawn in and her right leg extended, ever ready to rise from her seat and rescue sentient beings from suffering. She wears a small crown of five Buddhas on her head. Her right hand makes the gesture of supreme generosity (varada mudrā), blessing all beings; her left hand forms the gesture of the Three Jewels (triratna mudrā), where the index, middle, and ring fingers represent the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha respectively. Lotuses bloom from both hands and extend to her shoulders. Green Tara symbolizes the wisdom that dispels doubt—one of the five poisons: craving, aversion, ignorance, pride, and doubt.
