Description
Tara, the embodiment of enlightened activity, is a powerful Buddhist deity known for her ability to liberate beings from negativity. In this book, Thubten Chodron explores the practice of Tara as a means of transforming our minds and becoming like her. Through a simple meditation on Tara and two well-loved praises, Ven. Chodron offers guidance on how to cultivate tranquility, compassion, and wisdom in daily life. The author presents these practices as a way to relax and look at ourselves honestly, without fear of judgment or rejection. By embracing Tara's nurturing spirit, we can tap into our own spiritual potential and nurture it. This book provides a practical introduction to the benefits and application of Tara meditation, making it accessible to readers seeking a deeper understanding of Buddhist practice. Included are two traditional praises to Tara, "The Homage to the Twenty-one Taras" and "A Song of Longing for Tara, the Infallible", which offer a glimpse into the rich spiritual heritage of Tibetan Buddhism.
