Fairtrade product from Nepal.

Fairtrade stands for exactly that: fair trade. This means that producers in developing countries receive a fair price for their product. And that the circumstances in which they work are humane. So no child labor, no extremely long working days and attention to environmentally friendly production processes.

Tara is the wife of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. When the enlightened bodhisattva shed tears of compassion, a lake arose at his feet, from which a lotus flower grew. From this lotus rose the loving goddess Tara. Since then, she has been worshipped in Central, South and South-East Asia for many centuries as the mother of all people. You could compare her to Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Everyone who seeks her protection finds a loving mother in her. Tara is the female Buddha, the first woman to attain enlightenment. The name means “star”, or “she who brings liberation”. She helps people as a guiding star on their way through life and on their spiritual path. Tara stands for maternal protection and nurturing. Women, in particular, seek her wisdom, comfort and help when they are in need and seeking a way out of life’s problems. Tara can be a very practical and also a very quick force.

In her manifestation as White Tara, she achieves her greatest peace and gentleness. She is the goddess of healing, the one who grants long life. She is patient, brings calm and tranquility, frees us from our worries and pangs. She is full of love and compassion, comforting and cherishing. White Tara feels only love, joy and happiness and radiates this in all directions. The white light that surrounds and permeates her brings relief and liberation.
