Tara 17 of the 21 Taras holds a Stupa in the Nyingma visualizations, symbolizing the power of the Enlightened Mind to supress violence, evil and ill-thoughts. The symbol of the Stupa represents the Enlightened Mind and wisdom. It is through this wisdom we can overcome the poisons, including those that lead to violence.
