Homage to the Swift One, the Heroine!
In this retreat, we set aside 24 hours to make prayers and chant praises to Venerable Tara, a female wisdom Buddha. Tara is our Buddha mother who helps us to swiftly overcome our obstacles and develop inner peace and happiness. In this retreat, six sessions of Tara prayers will be completed over 24 hours. All are welcome to join as many (or few) sessions as they like.
The Tara Puja Liberation from Sorrow includes a special prayer composed by Buddha, “Praises to the Twenty-one Taras,” and is performed regularly at Kadampa Buddhist Centers worldwide.
A female Buddha, Tara is a manifestation of the ultimate wisdom of all Buddhas. Each of the twenty-one distinct Taras is a manifestation of the principal Green Tara, also known as “Mother of the Conquerors.”
