White Tara with Eight Auspicious Symbols for Peace and Prosperity
About our Ritual Item:
This magnificent White Tara with Eight Auspicious Symbols is a masterful piece made of oxidized copper and plated with brilliant layers of silver and gold. With a height of 36 cm, a width of 26.5 cm, and a weight of 1.09 kg, this precious sculpture exudes excellent craftsmanship and deep spiritual veneration. White Tara, the goddess of compassion, healing, and longevity, carries great religious significance in Tibetan Buddhism. The mix of oxidized copper and fine gold and silver plating not only improves its visual appeal, but also provides the artifact with a sense of purity and holy energy, making it an effective complement to any sacred place or altar.
The calm and bright White Tara, the bodhisattva of longevity, healing, and compassion, lies at the center of this revered copper object. She represents purity and spiritual awareness while sitting on a lotus pedestal in the vajra pose. Her left hand delicately holds a lotus blossom, signifying enlightenment and a link to the dharma, while her right hand stretches out in the varada mudra, signifying unending compassion. White Tara's seven eyes, which are located on her face, palms, and soles, represent her omniscient wisdom and capacity to sense all living things' pain. The Eight Auspicious Symbols, which have profound spiritual meaning, surround her in a symmetrical, circular arrangement. These include the parasol for protection, the golden fish for happiness, the treasure vase for prosperity, the lotus for purity, the conch shell for spreading dharma, the endless knot for interconnectedness, the victory banner for overcoming obstacles, and the dharma wheel for the teachings of enlightenment.
The overall layout resembles a tree, signifying wisdom, dharma flourishing, and spiritual development. Decorative carvings and intricate scrollwork highlight the universe's balance and harmony. The artifact is supported by a hexagonal pedestal base that is decorated with intricate flower designs and semi-precious stone inlays, including lapis lazuli, coral, and turquoise, which are thought to provide healing and protection. The base of the artifact is surrounded with a golden fence that emphasizes its spiritual holiness and echoes the holy border of a mandala. All together, this thangka is a powerful symbol of spiritual harmony, heavenly compassion, and flawless workmanship.
Introduction To The Auspicious Symbols:
The Eight Auspicious Symbols, are most likely of pre-Buddhist origin and were incorporated into early Buddhist iconography after its beginnings. They are thought to reflect events in the Buddha's life and were eventually worshiped in Vajrayana Buddhism to create a group of eight offering deities.
