Artist's Comments

Tara or Arya Tara, also known as Jetsun Dolma in Tibetan, is a female Buddha typically associated with Buddhist tantra practice as preserved in Tibetan Buddhism. She is the "mother of liberation", and represents the virtues of success in work and achievements. Tara is a tantric deity whose practice is used by practitioners of Vajrayana to develop certain inner qualities and understand outer, inner and secret teachings about compassion and emptiness.

The White Tara specifically is known for compassion, long life, healing and serenity.

i did this painting for one of my very dear friends who has helped me open up my eyes and heart. this is the least i could do for him and his wife in my own little way :) the image itself took me on and off of about 2 months. it's about 4 feet in legth (yah another poster) and took an incredible amount of time to just open and save. my poor comp ;)

please enjoy!

Incredible. Now, if I could find an illustration of Fudo Myo - the boddhisattva usually depicted holding a sword (the sword of truth, used to cut through the lies) with flames in the background (representing the passion with which he views his duty - strange, considering passion is against the Bodhisattva convention). He was always my favorite.

Wow... it's so beautiful and what a lovely choice of subjects as well. The colors are so lovely and very akin to Tara. It's not often you see anything done of this diety system at all, and it's a shame because they really are beautiful
