ABOUT TARA PRACTICE

Protector, remover of obstacles, model of enlightened activity, inspiration to Lama Atisha - Tara is all of these.  Tara is a female Buddha whose qualities include enlightened action and swiftly removing obstacles.Doing Tara practice clears obstacles in our spiritual lives and helps us attain our positive goals, both spiritual and mundane.  Here is an opportunity to deepen our connection to her!

During our monthly Tara practice, we will use the prayers one would say in Tara retreat.  Geshe Gelek advises that by doing this regularly in our daily lives, we are preparing for retreat.  

Kadampa Center has a special relationship with Tara, according to Sera Jey Khensur Rinpoche Jetsun Lobsang Delek, our Geshes' teacher, who consecrated our Tara statues during one of his visits to Kadampa Center.  All 21 apects of Tara are represented in these statues on the altar in Kadampa Center's gompa.
