She’s a really special goddess who governs the underworld, the earth and the heavens, birth, death and regeneration, love and war, the seasons and all that lives and grows
The story goes that Tara came into existence when a tear from Avolokitesvara, the Buddha-to-be, fell to the ground and formed a lake. Out of the lake bloomed a lotus which then opened to reveal the Goddess.
Tara is known as The Compassionate One and the Fierce Protectress.
