The Goddess White Tara is the female personification of compassion. Born of a tear from the eye of Avalokiteshwara, literally her name means "saviors".
Tsongkhapa was born in Tibet in the middle of the fourteen century and it is said that the tree which overshadowed the house in which he was born had the imprint of a Buddha on its leaves.
Avalokiteshvara – enlightened compassion is here depicted in the thousand arms and eyes manifestation, symbolic of his endless compassion to all sentient beings.
