TARA: The Most POWERFUL Goddess in BUDDHISM — And Why She Refused to Be Reborn as a Man
⚡ THE BUDDHIST GODDESS WHO ANSWERS BEFORE YOU FINISH PRAYING
Tara is Buddhism's most powerful female deity, but she's not just a goddess, she's a fully enlightened Buddha who defied every monk who told her to become a man. Born from the compassionate tears of Avalokiteshvara, Green Tara took a sacred vow to remain female forever and save beings faster than any other enlightened being in Buddhist history. From Tibetan warriors carrying her image into battle to modern practitioners calling her name in life-or-death emergencies, Tara represents the radical feminine power that Buddhism tried to hide for centuries.
This is the untold story of Tara: the Female Buddha who moves faster than fear.
