Sita Tara Buddhist Gods Symbols Charm

Sita Tara, a Bodhisattva of activity and compassion, is associated with practices for prolonging life and overcoming severe hardships. She is revered by Vajrayana Buddhists for cultivating the traits of compassion (karu), loving-kindness (mett), and emptiness (shunyata). Sita Tara is pictured sitting cross-legged on top of a blue lotus (Utpala) moon seat in a yogic posture. She is recognisable by her seven eyes—three of which are on her forehead and the other four on the palms of her hands. These eyes represent her sensitive attentiveness, keen insight, and genuine compassion. Sita Tara is also known as Arya Tara, Shayama Tara, Jetsun Döolma, Tara Bosatsu, and Duluo Psa.
