This is where followers like Barry get really mixed up. The White Tara 
in Vajrayana Buddhism is Sarasvati in Hindu Sri Vidya. According to 
Blofield, White Tara counteracts illness and thereby helps to bring 
about a long life. The Tara sadhana was revealed to the Nath Siddha 
Tilopa in 995 C.E., who is the human father of the Karma Kagyu sect of 
Tibet.
