Description
The beloved deity Tara is the feminine embodiment of enlightenment. For centuries, practitioners have turned to her for protection from both external and internal dangers, from fire to arrogance, but her ultimate purpose is freeing us from all suffering, delusion and helping us towards liberation and enlightenment.
This well-written book, presented in conversational style, is an authoritative guide to the practice of Tara. It includes very helpful chapters on the whys and hows of various Tara practices; the verses of devotion “Homage to the 21 Taras”, “A Song of Longing for Tara, the Infallible” and Thubten Chodron’s commentaries on these; as well as exploring Tara’s ultimate nature and her wisdom—comprising an understanding of the complementary relationship between emptiness and dependent arising.
