The Green Tara has been regarded for almost a thousand years in Tibetan Buddhism as the female manifestation of enlightened wisdom. She can also serve as a source of inspiration for both women and men today for wise and compassionate action. In this foundational work, Sylvia Wetzel, who has been teaching this practice in her courses for nearly forty years, imparts the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge to follow the Tara path as a process of liberation and inner transformation. Furthermore, she discusses the integration of Buddhism in the West and her own journey from being a Catholic innkeeper's daughter from the Black Forest to becoming a pioneer of Buddhism in the West.
