The Goddess Tara is honored in two traditions. As the Hindu star Goddess, she is a symbol of eternal light and life. As the Buddhist Goddess of compassion, she teaches the wisdom of non-attachment. With her third eye, and eyes in each hand and foot, Tara sees beyond the mortal veil into eternity, gently reminding us that all things pass, and each moment is perfect. Open your eyes to the Now, says Tara, and be at peace.
