Principal Green Tara Empowerment
Zasep Tulku Rinpoche is offering a Green Tara Empowerment
(on Zoom) on June 5th (June 6th in Australia)
Description:
Almost all female Buddhas including Vajrayogini, Kurukulla, Sarasvati, Machig Labdron, and Palden Lhamo are manifestations of Arya Tara. She is the most well-known and beloved of female Buddhas. Knowing Tara as a fully enlightened being, reciting her mantra daily, and the faithful practice of Arya Tara will bring enormous benefit to the serious practitioner. Tara practice has both temporal and ultimate benefits. Of the many temporal benefits, anyone who prays to Tara will receive her blessings, healing energy, and Tara practice will remove obstacles to long life. She will provide temporal protection and she will protect your Dharma practice. The ultimate benefit of Tara practice (if you practice the Tara sadhana regularly and recite Tara mantra) is that you will obtain Tara's enlightened realizations gradually.
For additional information on Tara, please see this article in
Buddha Weekly
