White Tara Wishfulfilling Wheel
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

White Tara Wishfulfilling Wheel (Tib. Drolkar Yishyin Khorlo; Wyl. sgrol dkar yid bzhin 'khor lo)— a form of Tara associated with longevity and one of the three deities of long life. She is white and has the appearance of a sixteen year old girl. She has seven eyes: three on her face, one on the palm of each hand and one on the sole of each foot. She is adorned with the thirteen ornaments of the perfect sambhogakaya, her right hand is in the gesture of offering, and her left hand, in the gesture of granting refuge, holds the stem of an utpala lotus flower which blossoms at the level of her ear. She is seated in the vajra posture on a moon disk seat, on top of an open white lotus.
This is the form of the main deity in the Chimé Pakmé Nyingtik sadhana as well as the Chimé Drupé Nyelam.
