From a tear of pure compassion, a goddess was born.
Legend tells that the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, the embodiment of compassion, looked down upon the world and wept as he saw the immense suffering of beings. From the teardrop that fell from his right eye, the peaceful Green Tara emerged, radiant and powerful. She vowed to him, “Do not despair. I shall be your companion in liberating all beings from suffering. I will act swiftly, without delay.”
This exquisite brass statue captures the very essence of that promise. It portrays Green Tara in her iconic posture, seated gracefully upon a lotus throne. Her right foot is extended, symbolizing her readiness to spring into action to aid those in need. Her right hand is open in the gesture of supreme generosity (varada mudra), signifying her ability to grant all wishes and blessings. Her left hand, held at her heart, provides the gesture of refuge and fearlessness (abhaya mudra), while holding the stem of a blue lotus flower, representing purity and spiritual power.
A Masterpiece in Miniature
Cast in solid brass with a warm, antique patina, this statue carries a sense of timeless wisdom. Though it stands at a delicate height of 5.2cm, the level of detail is remarkable—from the serene expression on her face and the intricate jewelry adorning her form to the gentle folds of her robes. It is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, making it a truly personal and intimate object of contemplation.
