[[White Tara]], known as [[Sita Tara]] in Sanskrit, is worshipped as the mother of all Buddhas and an embodiment of the maternal aspect of compassion. Her white color is a symbol of purity, the immaculate truth of the Dharma and perfectly pure wisdom. She is also associated with long life, the healing of physical and mental illnesses, and the elimination of difficulties that appear on the road to the ultimate goal of enlightenment. Her power is related to the prevention of accidents, natural disasters, lack of physical vitality, and anything that could endanger life. | [[White Tara]], known as [[Sita Tara]] in Sanskrit, is worshipped as the mother of all Buddhas and an embodiment of the maternal aspect of compassion.
