In Vajrayana, she is considered to be a Buddha, and the TÄrÄ Ta**ra describes her as "a mother who gives birth to the buddhas of the three times" who is also "beyond saį¹sÄra and nirvÄį¹a".She is one of the most important female deities in Vajrayana and is found in sources like the MaƱjuÅrÄ«mÅ«lakalpa, and the GuhyasamÄja Ta**ra.Key Indic Vajrayana texts which focus on TÄrÄ include the Ta**ra Which Is the Source for All the Functions of TÄrÄ, Mother of All the Tathagatas (Skt. SarvatathÄgatamÄtį¹tÄrÄviÅvakarmabhavanÄmatantra) and TÄrÄ's Fundamental Ritual Text (TÄrÄmÅ«lakalpa).
Both Green and White TÄrÄ remain popular meditation deities or yidams in Tibetan Buddhism, and Tara is also revered in Newar Buddhism.
