Legend has it that the Green Tara reincarnated into the Nepalese princess Bhrikuti (Trisun), who along with the White Tara reincarnation in the form of the Chinese princess Wencheng led the Tibetan king Songsten Gampo to teach Buddhism in Tibet. This led to the opening of Tibet for Buddhism, which over time pushed the shamanic Bön religion more and more into the background.
