The female Buddha White Tara is one of the main longevity deities in the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon.
White Tara, also known as the Wish-fulfilling Wheel or Cintachakra, represents the enlightened and liberating activity of all the buddhas.
In particular, she is associated with longevity and healing. As the embodiment of universal compassion, White Tara’s desire to save beings from suffering is said to be even stronger than a mother’s love for her children.
She is especially known for her swiftness in responding to the prayers of those who invoke her name.
Her meditation practice can be done to prolong your life and to overcome illnesses and other life-threatening obstacles. You can also offer an image of White Tara to a baby to wish that this newly born may have a long life ahead.
White Tara is a representation of compassion, and she is pictured as having seven eyes to symbolize the compassionate mind’s watchfulness.
