White Tara (Skt. Sita Tara) is also known as Saptalocana Tara, the 'Seven-eyed Saviors,' and is one of the three main Buddhist goddesses of longevity, together with Amitayus and Ushnishavijaya. Her meditational methods are mostly used to grant long life, ease sicknesses, and eliminate impediments to an untimely death. Thangkas of White Tara and the 'Trinity of Long-Life Deities' are regularly commissioned for such causes, as well as to bring a departed relative or friend back to life.
How does Thangka benefit us?
It goes without saying that every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning. Regardless of your religious affiliation, a thangka can help you on your path to enlightenment, whether you practice Buddhism or have other religious convictions. Thangkas are paintings that depict deities with various iconographic elements and symbolism that encourage meditation on the teachings of the god they depict. Any thangka is intended to aid in the removal of the film of ignorance, which is a significant barrier to the road to enlightenment. The Thangka is revered as a holy item. They promote positivity, spread Buddhism's teachings, bring about peace, harmony, and oneness, and dispel any negative energy that may be there.
