There is a very special deity known throughout Buddhism called Sgrol-ma, meaning "she who saves". This goddess Salvador is the most popular in the regions of Tibet, Mongolia and Nepal. She is known simply as Tara or "star" in Sanskrit language.

Tara is the goddess of universal compassion, which is the representation of all virtuous actions, lit. His love for all living beings is stronger than the love of a mother for her child. Tara protects us during our travels in the land, which gives us the longevity and the guards are with us as our way ball through the spiritual journey toward enlightenment.

Before the sixth century CE Tara was not known to the Buddhists, but it was well known by another name Hinduism, the goddess Parvati. When they discovered the Buddhist say Tara was born from Avalokiteshvara, through his tears of compassion. As the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara cried for the world and its beings endure suffering, tears formed a lake. Within this lake tears when he grew a lotus and the lotus opened the goddess Tara was in! In another legend of Tara was born from a blue light beam coming from one eye of Avalokiteshvara.

Tara's body is expected in different colors, each color symbolizes separate things. Some traditions say that the White Tara, with the lotus flower in full bloom, symbolizes the day and was born from the tears of Avalokiteshvara's left eye. Green Tara with his half-open lotus, represents the night, and came from the tears of Avalokiteshvara right eye. Green Tara is the embodiment of virtuous activity, White Tara symbolizes the great compassion of the goddess who strives day and night to relieve suffering.

In Tibet, every pious woman was believed to be an incarnation of Tara. He teamed up with two wives of the first Buddhist king of Tibet, Srong-brtsan-EMAS-po. Buddhist Women kings of imperial China was known the incarnation of White Tara, while the wife of the king of Nepal was an incarnation of Tara Green. It is possible that the strong need seeing these two pious women as incarnations of Tara was the reason he got the Buddhist idea of green and white forms of this goddess.

in Asia, where a statue of Buddha to make love while sitting to (whom I believe could be) Tara?

It is a statue of Buddha covered with Gold and Tara sitting face to face. They have blue hair (curly on Buddha and straight to his mid back at Tara). Also, Tara is wearing a shawl dress on her back and a bright yellow skirt (?) that covers the rear. Several times I have been to Asia and never seen anything like it. This image that I found on the Internet, but had no clue or links to where the. Thank you.

Buddhist art produced in the dynasty of the Sailendra Java, Indonesia. It is during this time that a Buddha statue made love to Tara was built. That is, in Central Java, Indonesia.
