In Greater Path Buddhism she, like many lesser Hindu divinities, has been retained though reclassified as a Bodhisattava. In Tibetan Lamaism, Tara became a symbol of other hungers as well, in particular the spiritual hunger for release from the purely physical world. As such, Tara is the bodhisattava of self-mastery and mysticism, invoked under her 108 names on a rosary of 108 beads. The Tibetan monastics have also promoted a popular cult of Tara as a compassionate, maternal figure -- though her "semiterrific" manifestation as the fierce Green Tara is also to be encountered.
