    ย GREEN TARA / DHOLMA โ€“ THE RESCUER

    Green Tara / Dholma is arguably the most beloved goddess in the Buddhist pantheon. She is the female embodiment of the enlightened compassion and miraculous deeds of all the Buddhas, offering protection and assistance to all who face challenges in their lives. She vowed that until all suffering was eliminated, she would work continuously in a womanโ€™s body for the benefit of sentient beings. Thus, Green Tara represents the very essence of virtuous and enlightened activity.

    Green, being the color of nature and flourishing life, signifies her energetic and vivacious personality. She is always depicted as a beautiful and vigorous young woman with a touch of playfulness. In this sense she teaches us not to take ourselves too seriously. She delights in a receptive mind and an open heart, for in such a person her blessings and wisdom can naturally unfold.

    GESTURES AND ATTRIBUTES

    Green Tara / Dholma is depicted in a posture of graceful contemplative ease with her right leg extended. The extension of her leg symbolizes her continuous activity, constant alertness and her readiness to spring into action to assist those who call upon her. Her right hand is extended downward, palm open, with thumb and index finger touching. This hand position is known as Varada Mudra, or the gesture of granting wishes and protection. Her left hand, raised to shoulder height with fingers extended and palm turned outward, is in the gesture of granting refuge and freeing from fears (Abhaya Mudra). Each of her hands also holds the stem of a beautiful lotus flower that floats above her shoulder as a symbol of her radiant purity and power.

    ABOUT THIS SCULPTURE

    Expertly cast from copper alloy using ancient technique called lost wax method; in oxidation finish this sculpture is an enchanting portrayal of Green Tara / Dholma. The goddessโ€™s figure is gracefully poised as she brings her hands up to form the sacred mudras. She wears a finely carved crown and the elegantly detailed ornaments of a Bodhisattva, signifying her compassionate vow to work for the benefit of sentient beings. Her robes are exquisitely carved throughout, showing marvelous detailing of flowers which are covered with silver plates. And over all, the lovely oxidation finish with silver flowers lends a pleasing sense of warmth, gently inviting one to linger, leaving thoughts of the world behind. This sculpture was individually handcrafted in Patan, Nepal by master artisans of the Shakya clan who are considered among the best in the world. These craftsmen are the modern heirs to a centuries-old tradition of creating sacred art for use in temples and monasteries. The fine metalworking techniques have been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times.
