According to a legend, Avalokiteshvara once spilled two tears to the earth out of despair over muddle-headed humanity. Each tear formed a lake in which a lotus grew. When the lotuses opened there was a Tara in the center of each. The tear from his left eye produced the dark-colored Green Tara, the one from his right eye the White Tara. White is the color of purity and therefore the White Tara symbolizes immaculacy, and because of her association with Avalokieshvara, compassion as well. Her worship is very popular in Tibet. She sits on a lotus with her right hand always in Varamudra, the gesture of offering material and spiritual gifts. Holding a white lotus in her left hand is a teaching gesture that symbolizes purification of a believer’s temper and life. There are seven eyes on her forehead, the palm of her hands and soles of her feet. These eyes symbolize the capacity to see all those in need in the six conditions of sentient existence. The practice of White Tara is performed in to prolong life, cut off the root of transmigration, and to prevent all demons, miseries and diseases.
