White Tara (Tibetan: drol ma kar mo. English: the White Saviouress, or Liberator), one of the three principal long-life deities, surrounded by 202 emanations of Green Tara.Surrounding the central figures are 202 forms of Green Tara (painted in gold) each with one face and two hands, the right extended in the mudra of generosity and the left holding a lotus flower. With the right leg pendant in a relaxed manner and the left folded in, they are seated in rows on lotus flowers encircled by red and green spheres of light.Tara is a completely enlightened buddha, who in a previous aeon had promised in the future after reaching enlightenment to always appear in the form of a female bodhisattva and goddess for the benefit of all beings, especially to protect from the eight and sixteen fears. In this white form she specifically performs the blessings of bestowing longevity. Practiced in all Schools of Tibetan Buddhism Tara is second in popularity only to Avalokiteshvara. Her practices are found in all classes of tantra - Nyingma and Sarma. The lineages of practice arise predominantly from Jowo Atisha, Bari Lotsawa, Nyen Lotsawa and Shakyashri Bhadra.Jeff Watt 4-99
