Product Overview

This Green Tara Red-Gold Buddha Head Thangka Pendant is a finely hand-painted work from Rebgong (Regong), Amdo, one of the most important centers of Tibetan thangka art. Rendered in a refined red-and-gold palette, the piece combines deep mineral pigments, layered gold powder illumination, and a calm, dignified facial expression characteristic of classic Rebgong artistry.

Green Tara – The Mother of Compassionate Action

Green Tara (Śyāmatārā) is one of the most revered deities in Tibetan Buddhism, honored with one hundred and eight sacred names, including Holy Liberating Mother, The Noble Lady, and The Swift Compassionate One. She is regarded as an emanation of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), born from a tear of compassion shed for all sentient beings.

Revered as the “Mother of All Buddhas” and the “Mother of Enlightened Activity,” Green Tara embodies compassion in swift, fearless action. She is traditionally depicted as a youthful sixteen-year-old figure, serene yet alert, ever ready to respond to suffering.

Liberator from the Eight Great Fears

In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Green Tara uniquely bears the responsibility of liberating beings from the Eight Great Fears, a role exclusive to her. These fears symbolically represent both external dangers and inner afflictions, often expressed as:

• Lion (pride)

• Elephant (ignorance)

• Snake (jealousy)

• Fire (anger)

• Flood (attachment)

• Prison (miserliness)

• Thieves (wrong views)

• Non-human forces (confusion and delusion)

Beyond protection, Green Tara is believed to transform doubt—one of the five mental poisons—into wisdom, fostering clarity, confidence, and insight. She is also deeply associated with compassionate care for women, children, and those in vulnerable situations, embodying a maternal presence that is both gentle and resolute.
