Tara Embodies the female wisdom activity of the mind. She is often called the mother of all the Buddhas


His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche has taught extensively on the benefits of White Tara practice. White Tara offers peace, prosperity, health and long life through her enlightened activities. She is depicted with a female body that is the brilliant white of a thousand autumn moons. Her third eye in her forehead symbolizes her vision of the unity of ultimate reality while she simultaneously sees the relative and dualistic world with her other two eyes. Her hands and feet also have eyes, showing that all her actions are governed by her ultimate wisdom and compassion. She is the protective, helpful and comforting mother who shows limitless kindness, generosity and protection towards those who are tossed in the ocean of suffering.



If we recite her mantra and make a connection to her, we draw closer to developing her enlightened qualities in ourselves.
