Who and why Green Tara?
It is said that in her course of saving sentient beings, Avalokitesvara (Guan Yin) was saddened by the innumerable beings that needed help. It was from her tears of compassion that Green Tara arose and gave the assurance of helping to save sentient beings. As such, Green Tara is swift in responding to those who pray for her assistance.
It is an auspicious start to the new year to jointly make an aspiration in improving ourselves. The Green Tara practice will help us transform our own lives positively so we can be of benefit to our family and friends initially and society at large eventually.
