It was time to freshen up the paint on our drab little garden godess- so this year- I looked in our paint box- and all we had was chrome and green - The new color adds a nice "patina-ed" look to the old brown paint from before. We named her Tara after the Green Tara Bodhisattva. Tara, whose name means "star" or "she who ferries across," is a Bodhisattva of compassion who manifests in female form. In Tibetan, Tara is known as "Dölma" (Sgrol-ma), or "She Who Saves." In particular she represents compassion in action, as she leaves her lotus throne in order to help sentient beings. Tara is seen as a savioress who helps with material threats such as floods, crime, wild animals, and traffic accidents.To learn more about her and hear Green Tara meditations- click on the title above or
