White Tara (Tibetan: drol ma kar mo, English: the White Liberator).On the right and left sides of the lotus of the central figure are the eight great bodhisattvas, the 'heart sons of the Buddha.' To the left is white Padmapani (Holder of the Lotus) Avalokiteshvara. Below that is blue Akashagarbha with the hands in prayer; orange Maitreya with the hands in the teaching gesture, and in the corner green Kshitagarbha. To the right side is blue Vajrapani holding a vajra in the right hand. Below that is red Samantabhadra with the hands in prayer, orange Manjushri with the hands in the teaching gesture and a lotus holding a sword and book. In the corner is golden Sarvanivarana-vishkambhin with the right hand in the gesture of giving protection and with the left holding a stalk of grain.At the bottom center, on a white snow lion, sits the Direction Guardian of the North, Vaishravana, yellow, with one face and two hands holding a banner in the right and a mongoose in the left. Wish-fulfilling jewels and precious objects are arranged in front. To the left stands the powerful form of Vajrapani, wrathful, blue in colour, with two hands holding in the right a vajra held aloft and a lasso in the left held to the heart; completely surrounded by flames of wisdom. To the right of Vaishravana sits the wealth goddess Vasudhara, yellow, with one face and two hands holding a wealth vase in the extended right hand and a stalk of grain in the left. The right leg is extended in a relaxed manner.White Tara is a longevity bestowing emanation of Green Tara and belongs to the Kriya classification of Tantra. All Schools of Tibetan Buddhism, new and old, practice White Tara. Within the Sarma Schools there are four famous lineages: Bari Lotsawa, Jowo Atisha, Kashmiri Pandita Shakya Shribhadra and Nyen Lotsawa Dharma Drag.Jeff Watt 7-98
