Tara takes many forms. In Tibet, these forms included the manifestation of Green Tara as Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal and White Tara Kongjo (Princess Vencheng) as Princess Kongjo of China.
White Tara (Saraswati) is associated with longevity. White Tara counteracts diseases and thus contributes to long life. It embodies the motivation of compassion and is said to be as white and brilliant as the moon.
Green Tara is the incarnation of maternal energy, which brings enlightenment to both the individual and the community. The current presentation of Green Tara comes from Buddhism, circa 7th century.
The green tara (Khadiravani) is usually associated with protection against fear:
- the lions of pride
- the wild elephants representing delusion/ignorance
- fires representing hatred and anger
- snakes representing jealousy
- bandits and thieves representing wrong views, including fanatical views
- bondage representing greed and miserliness
- floods representing desire and attachment
- and evil spirits and demons representing deluded doubts
