According to legend, Târa the bodhisattva was born as the princess "Moon of Wisdom", who decided to become a nun.
Monks advised him to pray for a more auspicious rebirth in a man's body.
She replied that in the ultimate reality, there is no more man or woman than "I" or "me, and vowed to continue to manifest in a woman's body to help all beings, until the ocean of samsaric existence had dried up.

It is also said that she was born from a tear shed by Chenréri (or Avalokiteshvara), the Buddha of compassion, of which she is an emanation.
The name of Târa, which means star, is interpreted as "the one who helps to cross" (the ocean of samsara), the savior, the liberator.
Tara flies to the aid of all those who invoke her in adversity, or, as the Indian sage Chandragomi said in the 7th century,
"Aya Tara instantly answers all selfless prayers. Selfish wishes may take a little longer... »

The two most well-known forms of Tara are green and white, as well as 21 manifestations that are the subject of a very beautiful prayer.

"that it takes a human body to attain enlightenment. Male or female, there is hardly any difference. But for the one who is determined to develop the spirit of awakening, a woman's body is more favorable. »
