Tara, often referred to as the "Mother of Liberation," is revered in Tibetan Buddhism as a compassionate goddess who guides beings through the challenges of life and offers protection from harm. As the embodiment of enlightened wisdom, Tara is believed to assist practitioners on their spiritual journey, granting blessings, courage, and inner strength.
The Black Tara Statue, specifically, symbolizes the fierce aspect of Tara, known for her ability to swiftly eliminate obstacles and dispel negative energies. Her black color represents the primordial void from which all creation arises, signifying her role as the protector of wisdom and ultimate truth.
