Tara, like her sister Green Tara, arose from the compassionate tears of
Chenrezig and, as the embodiment of enlightened activity, is the mother
of all buddhas. She has eyes in the palms of her hands and the soles of
her feet as well as in the center of her forehead. Like those of
1000-armed Chenrezig, these eyes allow her to look upon all beings in
every realm of existence with clear-sighted wisdom and deep compassion.
White Tara is specifically associated with practices aimed at
lengthening one's lifespan in order to continue the practice of dharma
and to progress further along the path to spiritual fulfillment.
