Tara
Tibetan Devi of Compassion
The Tara of Buddhism is an inspiration of compassion and loving kindness. There are 21 aspects of her in Buddhism: The Green Tara is known for her protective qualities, and the White Tara for longevity. In some sects of Hinduism, Tara is worshipped as one of the ten wisdom goddesses, the Mahavidya. This aspect is more wrathful as she embodies the power of protection. Tara has also been empowering figure in spirituality for women. In one story, Tara was working her way to enlightenment and had gotten quite far in her process. A fellow aspirant suggested that she be reborn is a man to finally achieve enlightenment. She refused to do so, retorting that gender has no bearing on spiritual development.
