SUMMARY:Tara Puja
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to all levels of experience\, \nNalanda Hall with our teacher\, Geshe Jampa Tharchin and wider community. \nAlso called Four mandala Offering To Cittamani Tara\, this puja is requesting Mother Tara to protect us from all negativities\, bring success\, especially for family\, relationship\, success of business\, Career\, health and protect from all kinds of fears. \nTara’s name means “star” or “she who ferries across\,” and she appears in female form as a bodhisattva of compassion. Green Tara\, in particular\, represents compassion in action — always ready to step down from her lotus throne to help sentient beings. \nTara is swift to respond to prayers. Her practice brings immense merit\, protects against suffering in future lives\, and supports the path to enlightenment. Lama Zopa Rinpoche shares that many people experience tangible benefits from Tara practice — from healing illness and avoiding untimely death\, to finding jobs\, improving relationships\, and even conceiving children. \nIf you have any questions about this puja or would like to dedicate this puja to a person in need\, please email meditate@chandrakirti.co.nz \nSponsorship for this puja is most welcome – see here.
