Green Tara Mantra
Green Tara, the embodiment of Active Compassion. There are many variations of Tara within Buddhist culture: she is a Bodhisattva for some and a Buddha within other traditions, the Mother of all Buddhas (liberation), and the female aspect of AvalokiteÅ›vara (Chenrezig) -born from his tears or sometimes portrayed as his consort. She is a popular deity within the Buddhist pantheon – whichever version to which you may subscribe. She is said to act quickly, saving those who call upon her for help, from eight calamities: lions (pride), wild elephants (delusions), forest fires (hatred), snakes (envy), robbers (fanatical views), prisons (avarice), floods (lust), and demons (doubts). Commonly called upon to provide assistance and to free us from fears, anxieties and dangers, and to help overcome the most difficult situations, this is a lovely version of her mantra (“Om Tare Tuttare Ture Swaha” pronounced “Om Ta-Ray Too-Ta-Ray Too-Ray So-Ha”), set to music. Enjoy!
Namaste.
