Green tara is an embodiment of the mother energy. She loves us so much that she has declared that she will remain in the universe until all sentient beings have attained freedom. Green tara brings enlightenment, first for the individual, then for all.

There are many stories about the origins of green tara. Some trace her back for eons to other world systems; other stories go back to the hindu goddesses durga and kali. Tibetans say she was born from a tear of avalokateshwara who cried tears of compassion when he saw the terrible suffering of beings trapped in the lower realms. The present manifestation of green tara appeared strongly in buddhism in about the 7th century CE. Tara grants people their deepest heart-felt desires. These wishes are fulfilled very quickly when they arise out of fervent devotion and are for the benefit of other.
