The White Tara or “White Saioress” is said to have born from a tear of the Bodhisattva of compassion. She holds a very prominent position in Tibet.

Here White Tara is seen seated on a lotus throne. Her body is white and she is seated in the Vajra posture. Her left hand, which is placed on her heart, holds the stem of a blossoming lotus beside her left shoulder. Her right hand is in Varadamudra, Symbolising supreme generosity. She is wearing all six ornament and looks like a beautiful sixteen-year-old maiden. She has seven eyes, two in the palms of her hand, two in soles of her feet and one in her forehead.

In this beautiful Thangka painting we can see the two Boddhisattvas on the bottom  part of the painting and the exquisite scenery in the background adds up to White Tara’s beauty. In the middle part of bottom register lies the offering substance along with auspicious symbols.

The practice of White Tara is basically performed in order to attain  prolonged life as well as for healing purpose. It is said that because Arya Tara is the collective manifestation of the enlightened activity of all Buddhas, her Sadhana is easily accomplished. Reciting her mantra merely a thousand times brings good luck and causes aversion of hindrances

Mandala literally means a circle . The tibetan word for madala is Kyilkhor , which means “centre and surrounding environment .”  In simple terms it is a circle used as a visual aid for concentration and introversive meditation . Meditating using a mandala leads to the attainment of insights and it helps to increase one’s level of concentration . It also helps to activate forces within oneself which culminates into “Siddhi  ” or super – natural forces . The mandala is the graphic representation of this process . It is not only theoretical but practical as an operational scheme involving a clear plan for practical realization of the process within oneself . It thus becomes an instrument ( Yantra ) . It is believed that by just looking at a mandala one’s soul is spiritually purified. Thus , a mandala represents the palace of purity a magic circle cleansed of spiritual obstacles and impurities . The square of the sacred palace is enclosed in  multiple circles of flame, vajra and lotus . These three circles forming the outer rims of the mandala symbolizes enlightenment , which  the meditating person must gain , before he or she can enter the illuminated palace . The mandala then consists of the inner square where the deity of the mandala resides .

The outer most circle or the fire circle also known as the Fire of wisdom

Consists of the purifying fire . The diamond circle or the vajra circle expresses strength and fearlessness  and finally the lotus circle expresses the open state of devotion , that is necessary to enter the palace . These three elements denotes the state of mind that the follower or the person meditating must possess before practicing the dharma .  

The name of the mandala is determined according to the deity residing in the centre of the sacred palace .
