Green Tara Statues

Green Tara Rupas Green Tara, known as the Buddha of Enlightened Activity, is the mother of perfected wisdom and compassion, swift and victorious, giver of prosperity, protector and remover of all obstacles.

Tara’s playful mind can relieve ordinary minds, which become rigidly serious or tightly gripped by dualistic distinctions. She takes delight in an open mind and a receptive heart. Green Tara sits at ease, her form relaxed open and friendly; her outstretched right foot indicates her readiness to swiftly help sentient beings, and she holds two utpala flowers representing her purity and compassion.

The exact form of the statue is very important. Each statue is rich in symbolism, with sacred scriptures specifying the detailed iconography. Statues are made using the ancient ‘lost wax’ casting process and require the highest level of craftsmanship. We have gone to great lengths to seek out and work with a family of artisans who are both highly skilled and have great respect for the work they are involved in.

We are also one of the only sources to buy properly filled Rupas. According to Buddhist tradition with instructions outlined in the Buddhist texts, Rupas are specially filled with specific Mantras and Sang. Sang is a special filling prepared by monks for placing inside the rupas. After being filled, the bottom of the Rupa is sealed; the Mantras and Sang add a beneficial energy and quality to each Rupa. If you know a Rinpoche, Lama or teacher that you would rather have fill the Rupa for you, please let us know and we will leave your Rupa unfilled.

Designed to exact descriptions in the Buddhist texts and commentaries, each statue is a work of art and tool for self evolution. Exquisite in design and finish, completely gilded in gold, with hand-painted faces, these are truly some of the finest Rupas available.

Green Tara rupas are available in Twelve and Eight Inch sizes. We also have larger, custom size and other style Rupas available by special order - please contact us for more information. You will receive the exact rupa described and shown in the picture.
