Green Tara represents the female aspect of compassion. Green Tara is regarded as spiritual consort of Amoghasiddhi, the Dhyani Buddha. Green Tara is thought to have mortal base in the historic persons of the Nepali and Chinese princess who married the great king Srong Tsong Gampo and credited with the introduction of Buddhism to Tibet and China. Green Tara vowed "until Samsara is empty, I shall work for benefit of sentient beings in a woman's body".
