SUMMARY:Tara Puja
DESCRIPTION:Female manifestation of Buddha’s Omniscient mind\, Tara. During a Tara Puja we recite 21 Tara’s prayer. \nThe actions of all the buddhas have manifested in the aspect of Tara\, to grant the wishes of us beings. Hence it is very important for us to pray to her. Because of her great compassion and love for all sentient beings\, if we pray to her with great sincerity and faith\, taking refuge in and relying on her completely\, she can definitely help eliminate hindrances and bring success in spreading the pure teachings of the Buddha. \nJoin us if you are a practitioner or not. All welcome! \n10am at the Gompa with our teacher Geshe-la.
