About Tara
Tara (Star, or Drolma in Tibetan),
goddess of protection and
compassion, is the primary female
deity in the Tibetan Buddhist
pantheon, and one of the most
worshipped deities in Tibet. She is
saluted in this mantra as the noble,
exalted liberator, as the swift and
glorious liberator, and as the deity
who grants success by removing
obstacles and fulfilling all good
intentions. In some ways similar to
the Virgin Mary in the Catholic
tradition, Tara listens to prayers,
wants to help human beings, and
represents Miraculous Action. She
has many manifestations, most
notably as Green Tara, goddess of
the Earth who overcomes obstacles
and saves people from danger, and as
White Tara, guardian and deliverer
of peace, longevity, and protection.
When you say this mantra you cover
all the Tara bases, no need to pick
just one!
Prayer
to Tara
Alas! I do not know either the mystical word or the mystical diagram, nor
do I know
the songs of praise to Thee,
nor how to welcome Thee,
nor how to meditate on Thee,
nor how to inform Thee of my distress. But this much I know, O
Mother! That to take refuge in Thee is to destroy all my miseries. |

My Mothers
All Wonders of My Miraculous Arising

Now and in All Awe
O Glory
In Fullness so Empty
Shine For Me
