Happy Tara Day

Every day is Tara day, although typically we celebrate especially on the eighth day of the lunar month, which is auspicious for Tara practice. Tara is the Wisdom and Compassion Activity of all the Buddhas. For more information on Tara Day, and meritorious activities for this special day each month, see our full feature>>

Green Tara on a lotus is visualized with one leg outstretched — ready to leap to the aid of people in trouble. Above her head is her own guru Amitabha Buddha.
