Postkaart Witte Tara L

Postkaart "Witte Tara" van Tibetan Buddhist Art. Witte Tara is de Bodhisattva ofwel de vrouwelijke Boeddha van Lang Leven en wordt in het Tibetaans ook wel Dolkar of Drolkar genoemd. Op de achterzijde staat de mantra van Witte Tara en de volgende Engelse tekst:

The White Tara practice can be done to prolong your life and to overcome life-threatening obstacles such as illnesses. Her practice can also be done on someone else's behalf. Another beautiful ritual is to offer a White Tara image to a newly born baby to wish he or she may have a long life ahead.
It is said that White Tara's seven eyes enable her to clearly 'see' all beings in the realms of existence. The right hand on her knee is in the gesture of Supreme Generosity, and in her left hand she holds a blue utpala lotus flower. Her hand mudras are similar to those of Green Tara.

White Tara is often depicted together with Amitayus and Ushnisha Vijaya; these being the "Three major longevity deities" in the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon.
