Talk - Tara Practice and Mantra Recitation September 14, 2009

Talk - Tara Practice and Mantra Recitation. by by Chamtrul Rinpoche. Tara is a fully enlightened Buddha, who can be understood at both the relative and ultimate levels. At a relative level Buddha Tara displays characteristics that can be understood by ordinary, conceptual human minds and she is associated with such beneficial acts as conferring longevity, curing illness, stopping wars and giving prosperity. At the level of absolute truth she is beyond understanding or analysis. Her true nature is free from mental fabrication and the relative concepts of space and time. At all levels, from the Hinayana up through the Vajrayana, Buddha Shakyamuni used the language of the great Mother to explain the ultimate true nature. In fact at their core all the teachings of the Buddha are none other than explanation of the nature of the Mother. She is given several different titles, such as Mother of all Buddha's and Mother of all Samsara and Nirvana. Tara's enlightened activities are numerous and powerful beyond comprehension. Tara is known primarily as 'The one who liberates' especially in the form of Green Tara, she liberates sentient beings from eight fears. Tara's enlightened activity has the potential to protect human being who connects with her practice from all fears and causes of these fears. She has special resonance as a source of female spiritual.
