Buddhist art sculpture in brass metal,a Tara Buddha statue for spiritual gift!Tara also known as Jetsun Dolma in Tibetan Buddhism is a female Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism who appears as a female Buddha in Vajrayana Buddhism. She is known as the "mother of liberation",and represents the virtues of success in work and achievements. In Japan she is known as Tarani Bosatsu,and little-known as Tuoluo in Chinese Buddhism. Tara is a tantric meditation deity whose practice is used by practitioners of the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism to develop certain inner qualities and understand outer,inner and secret teachings about compassion and emptiness.
