Dear Friends

Maggie and myself are planning to take a walk on Southampton Common, with malas swinging and hitting the airwaves with the melody of Tara's mantra.
We welcome your company on this New Year's day and supplicating Tara and her energies of removing fear and obstacles

 

We have chosen a Tara dedicated walk following on from Margaret Ford's inspiring email of making offerings of Tara mantras to Rinpoche and all beings for Losar

 

We plan to meet at the Cowherds Pub, on the Avenue, at 11am. Will keep you posted as to weather etc

 

Love and Prayers

Margaret and Maggie

Arya Tara (Jetson Drolma in Tibetan) is one of the most cherished deities in Tibetan Buddhism renowned for her real presence and swiftness in helping practitioners. She is the manifestation of fully enlilghtened activity arising from pure compassionate wisdom energy in female form and is said to be the mother of all Buddhas

 

One can easily feel close to Tara's divine nurturing presence and let her radiance fill your body and mind while contemplating her openly and reciting her mantra

 

OM To the transcendent subduer, Arya Tara. I prostrate.

Homage to the glorious one who frees with TARA.

With TUTTARE you calm all fears,

You bestow all success with TURE,

To the sound of SOHA, I pay great homage

 

Dedicate the positive potential gained from meditating on Tara to the perfect happiness and wellbeing of all beings
