Green Tara Ghau pendant in silver

Beautiful silver pendant of the Green Tara. Green Tara is a central bodhisattva figure in Tibetan Buddhism and symbolizes compassion, protection and quick help. She is often depicted as a protector who removes obstacles and averts danger. Her green color stands for energy and the active form of compassion. She sits in a relaxed posture with one leg outstretched, ready to respond to the requests of the faithful. In her left hand she holds a lotus flower, which represents purity and enlightenment. The Green Tara's mantra, "Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha", is recited to gain protection, courage and inner strength. She is regarded as the embodiment of female wisdom and is revered as a quick helper in emergency situations.

The mantra ༀ་ཨཱཿ་ཧཱུྃ (OM AH HUNG) is engraved on the back. OM stands for the body, AH for speech and HUM (or HUNG) for the mind. They represent the possibility of the transformative blessings of the body, speech and mind of all Buddhas - past, present and future.
The pendant was made by hand in a traditional workshop in Nepal. It goes well with the snake necklaces from Atelier Tibet (available separately).
