symbolism
The white Tara symbolizes transcendental perception and the complete purity, grants a long life according to religious ideas and protects against diseases. Her seven eyes symbolize the highest awareness and their ability to see any suffering. According to the tantric iconography, six eyes stand for the six areas of existence in Samsara and the seventh eye for the wisdom perception of the three times (past, present, future) which should result from their realized state of consciousness. According to the practitioners, she also supports them to achieve advanced meditation states.
