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.
