Within Tibetan Buddhism, Mother Tara is also regarded as a Bodhisattva of action and compassion. She is the female aspect of Avalokitesvara (a Bodhisattva, also known as Chenrezig, who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas) and in some origin tales Tara comes from Avalokitesvara’s tears: „Then at last Avalokiteshvara appeared at the summit of Marpori, the ‘Red Hill’, in Lhasa – Tibet. Gazing out, he recognized that the lake on Otang, the ‘Plain of Milk’, reproduced the Hell of Ceaseless Torment. Countless number of living beings were experiencing the agonies of boiling, hunger, burning, thirst, yet they never perished, but let forth hideous cries of anguish all the while. Immediately upon Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara saw this, tears sprang to his eyes. A teardrop from his right eye fell to the plain and turn into the reverend Bhrikuti, who pronounced: “Son of your race! As you are striving for the sake of sentient beings in the Land of Snows, intervene in their suffering, and I shall be your companion in this endeavor!” Bhrikuti was then reabsorbed into Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara’s right eye, and was reincarnated in a later life as the Nepalese princess Tritsun. A teardrop from his left eye drop upon the plain and became the reverend, Goddess Tara. Mother Tara also declared, „Son of your race! While you are striving for the well-being of sentient beings in the Land of Snows, intercede in their suffering, and I shall be your companion in this endeavor!” Goddess Tara was reabsorbed into Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara’s left eye, and was incarnated in a later life as the Chinese princess Kongjo”. Goddess Tara is also recognized as a saviouress, as a heavenly deity who listens the cries of beings experiencing misery in samsara. much Love2All:)
