White Tara is one of the forms of Taras. White Tara is seated in full Vajra posture and her left hand which is poised at the heart holds the stem of a lotus that opens into blossom beside her left shoulder. Her right hand is in the Varada mudra symbolizing supreme generosity. She is seated upright on a moon disc. She is wearing all sort of precious ornaments and looks beautiful maiden of sixteen years of age. The practice of white Tara is basically performed in order to prolong life as well as for healing purpose. It is said that because Arya Tara is the collective manifestation of the enlightened activity of all Buddhas, her sadhana is easily accomplished. The recitation of her Mantra merely a hundred thousand times with the motivation of Bodhicita will cause avertion of hindrances.
