	The principle symbol of White Tara is the fully-opened lotus, representing the opening of the petals of the [[chakra]]s. Statues of the White Goddess often show the richness of her raiment. Her crown and earrings symbolize the manifest expression of the abundant life of the Buddha and the Christ. The Mother symbolizes that all things in the [[Matter]] universe belong to her children, and so that abundant sense is part of her manifestation. She also shows the renunciate that the real wealth of the cosmos is in the spiritual qualities. The Mother is the one who owns nothing but owns everything, and in this balance we find the discipline of the Buddha.

'''The White Goddess''' is one of the many images of the [[Mother of the World]]. She is a principle, and yet a living being.

In Tibet, the White Goddess is especially loved and worshiped as Tara, the saviouress. Tibetan Buddhists understand that the one who is going to save the world is the Mother, and that she comes to save the world in the end of the age of the [[Kali Yuga]].

Tara is said to have been born from a lotus that grew in the water of a tear shed by [[Avalokitesvara]], who, as the ancient text records, “saw that however many migrating beings he removed from samsara, they grew no fewer, and he wept.” Thus Tara is considered the counterpart of feminine Avalokiteshvara or his divine consort, and like [[Kuan Yin]], she is a bodhisattva of compassion. The relationship between Tara and Kuan Yin has been the subject of much speculation. Some say that Kuan Yin is Tara’s Chinese counterpart and others believe that the two are really one and the same being.

The principle symbol of White Tara is the fully-opened lotus, representing the opening of the petals of the [[chakra]]s. Statues of the White Goddess often show the richness of her raiment. Her crown and earrings symbolize the manifest expression of the abundant life of the Buddha and the Christ. The Mother symbolizes that all things in the [[Matter]] universe belong to her children, and so that abundant sense is part of her manifestation. She also shows the renunciate that the real wealth of the cosmos is in the spiritual qualities. The Mother is the one who owns nothing but owns everything, and in this balance we find the discipline of the Buddha.

She is often seated in the full lotus posture, ''Padmasana'', permitting the free flow of the [[Kundalini]]. Her left hand is over the heart, and her right hand is extended in the gesture of giving, embodying generosity and the blessing of all life. The knot on the top of her head symbolizes the opening of the [[crown chakra]]. The elongated ears and the presence of the [[third eye]] symbolize the full use of the inner senses. The large ear is seen on all of the Buddhas, and it indicates the contact with God through the inner ear and the inner sound.

The White Tara is a manifestation of the Divine Mother, the cosmic principle of the Mother. Whether you call her [[Mother Mary]] or [[Isis]] or the White Tara of Tibet or Kuan Yin or [[Kali]] or [[Durga]], she is still the Mother force, the [[shakti]]. She also lives within you. She is the Mother light within us all. She is ascended master and unascended master.

As you give adoration to that presence within yourself through the [[rosary]], you are raising the energies of the Kundalini and connecting with the cosmic principle of Mother.

In a dictation with the White Goddess in 1977, [[Serapis Bey|Serapis]] said:
