Tara, Tara, Tara … Sitatara, we come to you!

Avalokiteshvara’s tear, mother of all Buddhas, I embrace you!

O Tara, light of a thousand autumn moons, of flawless quartz, incandescently White Tara, you are my ferrywoman on the endless sea of suffering!

All of Humanity, we bathe in your completeness, your undifferentiated Truth! Your seven eyes cut through our games, our follies, our sadnesses. Compassionate, vigilant, and perceptive, thou art! Your eyes like ours, your third eye wide open, and the eyes in the palms of your hands and soles of your feet, they see All, they hear All, they feel All! Not a cry goes unheard, not a tear goes unseen, not a thought of despair goes unfelt.

Your extraordinary, extrasensory perception makes all masks as if they never were.

Oh, Tara, Tara, to cross to you, we but have to turn our thoughts to you.

My HeartPrincess, your voluptuous breasts peep through your blouse, turn my gaze! Calm my ardour! Oh! The curve of your blouse like the heart-struck sign of the immortal within! Oh! How dangerously elusive you are! How omnipresent you are!

Tara, Sitatara, Sgrol-dkar, Saviour of suffering, your starry beauty ravishes my heart! It is not for nothing that Tara means Star!

“Homage! Tara, swift, heroic! With a glance like flashing
lightning, born from a blooming lotus sprung from the tears on
the face of the Lord of the World!”

… Chapter III, Tara Tantra

Give me long life so that I may erase my karma and spin the wheel of Dharma! Bodhisattva, save me from lions and pride, wild elephants and delusions, forest fires and hatred, snakes and envy, robbers and fanatical views, prisons and avarice, floods and lust, and demons and doubts!

Sitatara, I Thank you! Tara, I Love you! Trinity, I Respect you!

The lotus flower you hold in your left hand, Utpala, the triune bloom: one with seeds, the past; one in full flower, the present; and the third, to bloom, the future! A Trinity of Buddhas: Kashyapa, Shakyamuni, and Maitreya! Protection comes from this hand, next to your heart, three fingers raised, it is OK! I know you are compassionate, do not cry for me, I drown myself in your Infinite Love! You are the essence of all our Buddhas, of past, present and future, thou art! You banish fear!

Your right hand grants me any boon. I Thank You. Yogananda said: “Make me the Butterfly of Eternity!” Grant me this boon and let Infinite Love transmit to the multiverse through this shattered reed that is my dwelling.

O Goddess, you are marked like a tathagata, om ah hum. Even now, I feel your grace overflowing within me like molten nectar, I brim with you, I don’t want any drops to spill from me, you must come and drink from me so that I may replenish myself in your everlasting graces!

Listen!

Purity, Wisdom and Truth, sitting like a diamond, O, what a magnificient vajra! What grace, what calm! Thou truly art incomparable!

While I always write into nothingness, while I always transmit into nothingness, while I swim in the endless Brighter World that illuminates my heart within due to the incredible graces of my Masters, I yet swim!

Thank you for this emptiness I feel, for it means that I have yet to be filled, that my cup awaits your nectar! You free me from illness, you grant me safe passage to the Brighter World, you give me long life so that I may awaken!

Tibetans say: OM TARE TUTTARE TURE, MAMA AYUR JANA PUNTIN KURU SOHA

O Tara, you are my Self, you are my Master, my Goddess, you are all that I can be, that I will be, that I always have been.

Has it been more than eighteen thousand years already? You have always been with me. You are like a thousand suns reflecting off a pristine field of snow, each crystal in the form of Infinite Love

“There are many who wish to gain enlightenment
in a man’s form,
And there are few who wish to work
for the welfare of living beings
in a female form.

Therefore may I, in a female body,
work for the welfare of all beings,
until such time as all humanity has found its fullness.”

- Tara
