• Color & Posture: Vibrant green body (symbolizes vibrant life and eternal hope, representing compassion as nectar nourishing all beings); sits relaxed on a multi-layered thousand-petal lotus throne (the lotus, pure amid mud, signifies compassion freeing beings from worldly troubles).
• Mudra & Held Object: Right hand in the boon-granting mudra (palms facing outward, fulfilling all good wishes with unrestricted compassion); left hand holds a blooming blue utpala flower (symbolizes purity and rebirth, guiding beings from suffering to peace and liberation).
• Headdress & Adornments: Wears a five-Buddha crown inlaid with precious gems (uniting the compassionate vows of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, representing complete compassion); draped in flowing celestial robes (symbolizing pure, unimpeded compassion); adorned with intricate necklaces (symbolizing noble virtues, exuding sacred solemnity and compassionate grace).
Surrounding Elements
• Flowers: Decorated with blooming peonies (symbolizing prosperity and auspiciousness) and lotus flowers (symbolizing purity), embodying that compassionate vows bring peace and blessings rooted in virtuous deeds.
• Auspicious Clouds: Floating above the scene, symbolizing Green Tara’s compassionate power spreading far and wide, protecting beings from suffering and granting peace.
• Lower Offerings & Decorations: Auspicious offerings and floral ornaments enrich the composition with elegance, adding layers to the artwork while symbolizing Green Tara’s ability to fulfill wishes for peace and goodness.
II. Cultural Meaning & Legacy
Green Tara is the quintessential symbol of compassion, liberation, and wish-fulfillment in Tibetan Buddhism. This Thangka originates from believers’ sincere prayers for "freedom from suffering, attainment of peace, and fulfillment of all good wishes."
As the sacred deity of "compassionate liberation, wish-fulfillment, and protection," Green Tara’s teachings guide practitioners to cultivate compassion and kindness through prayer and practice. Beyond bringing physical and mental peace and protection from misfortune, this spiritual journey leads to the harmonious state of "a compassionate heart fulfills wishes; fulfilled wishes bring blessings."
As a masterpiece of Regong Thangka art — renowned for vivid colors, exquisite craftsmanship, and profound spiritual meaning — this work seamlessly integrates Green Tara’s compassionate essence, masterful Regong brushwork, and the timeless quality of natural pigments. Every stroke of mineral paint infuses devout wishes for "compassionate liberation and peaceful perfection" into Green Tara’s green form and the vibrant flowers. Every line — from the flowing robes and delicate utpala flower to the intricate crown details — reflects the artist’s deep understanding of Buddhist iconography, extraordinary craftsmanship, and sincere reverence for faith. Through these masterful skills, Green Tara’s compassionate energy becomes a tangible fusion of art and spirituality.
