With her seven eyes, she is able to see all human afflictions and can offer compassion, healing or saving. It is said that both the White and Green Taras were born as tear drops of the Buddha Avalokiteshavara, when he looked down and felt compassion to the world’s suffering. The name ‘White Tara’ also means “the one who saves”, giving her the power to save people from suffering.
