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
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

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
