Description Red Tara, a manifestation of the deity Tara, symbolizes the attraction of positive aspects in life. In this artwork, Red Tara is depicted with her right leg slightly extended and her right hand grasping the stem of a blue utpala flower. Her left-hand holds a golden lasso in front of her heart. In Vajrayana Buddhism, the practice of Red Tara is linked to the Mandala of wish-fulfilling essence, which transforms material desires into compassion and love. This practice includes teachings on the nature of the mind, yoga, and various healing activities. The knowledge of Red Tara has been transmitted from Amitabha Buddha to Avalokiteshvara, an emanation of Tara, and then to Nagarjuna, who passed it on to Padmasambhava.
