Appearance: She is usually depicted with a white body, symbolising purity and serenity, and with a gentle expression. She often wears jewellery and traditional Tibetan clothing.
Symbolism
Compassion: White Tara is associated with compassion and wisdom, and is considered a protector and saviour. Devotees often invoke her presence to receive help in difficult times.
Liberation: She is seen as an entity that guides sentient beings towards liberation from suffering and ignorance.
Role in Buddhism
Meditation and Prayers:
Many practitioners recite mantras and practise meditations dedicated to White Tara, in particular the mantra “Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha”, which invokes her protection and help.
Recognition:
She is particularly venerated throughout the Tibetan world and in many Buddhist traditions. Her figure is often used in rituals and meditation practices.
Psychological Aspect

White Tara symbolises the balance between feminine and masculine qualities, representing both strength and gentleness. She is seen as a guide for developing these aspects in daily life.
In summary, White Tara is a powerful incarnation of compassion, playing a crucial role in Tibetan spirituality and in practitioners’ personal growth journeys.
