Green Tara is the loving goddess who protects us against dangers and removes all inner and outer hindrances to our awakening.  Her green color represents miraculous wisdom, powered by the energy of compassionately transmuted envy.  It is said her face shines as splendidly as a hundred full harvest moons, ablaze with laughing light rays, like the host of a thousand stars.  Here her hands are poised in the gesture of teaching, while her feet are relaxed in a playful posture.  She invites us to enjoy her teachings!
