Green Tara : is Tara's most dynamic manifestation.
Her color symbolizes youthful vigor and activity. She is often depicted
in a posture of ease with right leg extended, signifying her readiness
to spring into action. The left leg is folded in the contemplative position
on the lotus pedestal, the two together thus symbolizing the integration
of wisdom and art. Her left hand, in the gesture of granting refuge
holds the stem of a blue lotus that floats over her left shoulder as
a symbol of purity and power. With her right hand she makes the boon-granting
gesture. |

Buddha in Dhyana Mudra : The Dhyana mudra is the mudra
of meditation, of concentration on the Good law, and of the attainment
of spiritual perfection. According to tradition, this mudra derives
from the one assumed by the Buddha when meditating under the pipal tree
before his Enlightenment. This gesture was also adopted since time immemorial,
by yogis during their meditation and concentration exercises. It indicates
the perfect balance of thought, rest of the senses, and tranquillity.
