Green Tara Mantra ********************** According to Buddhism, Tara was born from a beam of radiant blue light emanating from one of the eyes of Avalokiteshvara. Both Green and White Tara symbolize the compassion without ending of the goddess who labors day and night just to relieve our suffering. Another legend states that Tara was born from the tears of Avalokiteshvara the bodhisattva of compassion. It is believed that he wept as he looked upon the world filled of suffering sentient beings, and he wept until his tears had formed a lake in which a lotus sprung up and bloomed. As soon as when the lotus opened, Tara was revealed. It was believed that White Tara born from the tears of Avalokiteshvaras left eye and the Green Tara from the right. All spiritual evolution involves the growth of the Divine qualities of Love, Compassion and Wisdom. Green Tara is an infinite source of these qualities.

By the spiritual energy of this practice, May I attain Enlightenment for the benefit of all. Tara (whose name means star or she who ferries across) is a Bodhisattva of compassion who manifests in female form. In Tibetan, Tara is known as Dölma (Sgrol-ma), or She Who Saves. In particular she represents compassion in action, since shes in the process of stepping from her lotus throne in order to help sentient beings. Taras mantra is a loving play on her name. According to Sangharakshita, a traditional explanation of the mantra is that the variations of her name represent three progressive stages of salvation. 1. Tāre represents salvation from mundane dangers and suffering. Tara is seem as a savioress who can give aid from material threats such as floods, crime, wild animals, and traffic accidents. 2. Tuttāre represents deliverance into the spiritual path conceived in terms of individual salvation. In traditional terms, this is the path of the Arhant, which leads to individual liberation from suffering. This is seen in Mahayana Buddhism as a kind of enlightenment in which compassion does not figure strongly. 3. Lastly, ture represents the culmination of the spiritual path in terms of deliverance into the altruistic path of universal salvation - the Bodhisattva path. In the Bodhisattva path we aspire for personal enlightenment, but we also connect compassionately with the sufferings of others, and strive to liberate them at the same time as we seek enlightenment ourselves. Svaha, according to Monier Monier-Williams Sanskrit Dictionary, means: Hail!, Hail to! or May a blessing rest on! Her mantra can therefore be rendered as something like OM! Hail to Tara (in her three roles as a savioress)! although this may one of those occasions when the mantra is best left untranslated.
