Green Tara in a larger size
At 23 cm tall, this version is far more imposing than its smaller 13 cm sibling. If you have a spacious meditation corner or a larger living room, this size fills the space well and is striking enough that the eye comes to rest on it first.
The message of the dancing posture
The dancing pose expresses Tara's immediate readiness to act when someone reaches out for help. In her left hand she holds the stem of a blue lotus, pointing to purity and an elevated state of mind. The seven eyes that appear on her forehead, palms and soles are an ancient sign of all-seeing attention.
Material and craftsmanship
The statue is made of brass at an Indian workshop with fine handwork. The surface has a warm glow, and the details — the hair, the folds of the garment, the flower stem — come through clearly. The larger size brings out the finesse of the work even more, and you can enjoy looking at it closely for a long time.
Mantra and daily practice
The mantra associated with Green Tara is: Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha. Many communities recite the twenty-one verses once a month to smooth out obstacles. You can use it with confidence even if you are just beginning to explore the Tibetan tradition — the sound itself is calming and helps you to focus your attention.
Placement and care
Because of the 23 cm size, place it on a firm, level surface — a low altar, a sturdy shelf or a display spot. Keep it in a dry, dust-free place. A soft, dry cloth is enough for cleaning; avoid damp wiping, as it can leave a mark on the brass surface.
