Green Tara, also known as Syamatara, is a highly adored deity in Tibetan Buddhism who represents active compassion and prompt help. She is referred to as the "Mother of Liberation" and is invoked to remove impediments, protect from harm, and soothe anxiety and pain. Green Tara is generally represented as a lovely young woman with a calm smile, seated with one leg outstretched and poised to spring into action, holding a blue lotus, which represents purity and compassion. Her methods are centered on developing compassion, obtaining protection, and conquering personal and external challenges.
