SGD 10
Available in Tibetan-English-Chinese. Horizontal laid, spiral bound, dimension measures 11” by 5.9”.
Known as the Mother of All Buddhas, the Swift Liberator, the Savioress, or She Who Protects From All Perils, Tara is the essence of Dharma. She embodies the wisdom of all Buddhas--the primordially enlightened mind--and fearlessly leaps into action with the love of a mother for her only child.
When H.E Garchen Rinpoche was in prison, he prayed to Tara continuously for protection and guidance. She is his yidam, his main deity, and as such he is never separate from her mantra. Because the benefits of practicing Tara are so profound for oneself and others, Rinpoche highly recommends that all of his students engage in Tara practice.
The sadhana used in these inspiring and joyous teachings was written by the previous incarnation of H.E Garchen Rinpoche after seeing a vision of White Tara.
In this practice, one visualizes one's essential nature in the form of White Tara and recites her mantra. White Tara is associated with healing and long life, and by practicing White Tara one can attain health and longevity as well as the ultimate attainment, Buddhahood.
Tara is the basis of the manifestation of all female deities, and she vowed to attain enlightenment in female form and continuously manifest to protect beings from fears of cyclic existence. Just hearing her name with devotion frees one from the eight or sixteen fears.
Practicing her meditation and reciting her mantras dispels all obstacles. One will be born in Dewachen, the blissful pure land of Buddha Amitabha. At the end of this sadhana is a “Supplication Prayer to the Twenty-One Taras” and "Supplication Prayer to Tara, the Seven Protectors."
The 7 line prayer was said to be composed during the time when Lord Jigten Sumgon was staying at Echung cave. Having attained Buddhahood, he had a vision of the seven Taras. At that time he made this supplication prayer that has manifold magnificent blessings.
