White Tara has 7 eyes — with an eye in her forehead, and one on each hand and foot — symbolizing her compassionate vigilance to see all the suffering of the world.
Thanks to Tarakei I started a bit of Tangkha art. She taught me to draw this beautiful goddess of compassion.

My Cat Leo loves it when I draw Tara. In a way it serves as a meditation practice to draw her over and over again.

White Tara

Tārā is a meditation deity revered by practitioners of the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism to develop certain inner qualities and to understand outer, inner and secret teachings such as karuṇā (compassion), mettā (loving-kindness), and shunyata (emptiness).
