Tibetan 24K Gold Plated White Tara Statue 22 CM

White Tara is also called "the Goddess of Seven Eyes" because, in addition to the third eye, she is also depicted with eyes on her hands and feet. Tara is like a mother to her offspring when it comes to sentient beings. According to mythology, from Avalokiteshvara's tear, which dropped to the earth and formed a lake, she was created.  White Tara statues are seen with an eye on her forehead, and one on each hand and foot, symbolizing her compassionate awareness to see all the suffering of the world. Her left hand is in the protective mudra and her right hand is in the wish-granting mudra. In her left hand, she usually holds a stem of the Utpala lotus flower with three blossoms. One blossom is represented as a seed, a second as ready to bloom, and the third in full bloom. These represent the Buddha’s of the past, future, and present. White Tara is seated in the more meditative diamond lotus position, with both legs folded under her, and her feet facing upward.
