Thank you.

Short Tara Praise Question
Short Tara Praise Question
Equanimity is the ground. Love is the moisture. Compassion is the seed. Bodhicitta is the result.
-Paraphrase of Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Tsephel citing the Guhyasamaja Tantra
"All memories and thoughts are the union of emptiness and knowing, the Mind.
Without attachment, self-liberating, like a snake in a knot.
Through the qualities of meditating in that way,
Mental obscurations are purified and the dharmakaya is attained."

Re: Short Tara Praise Question
I believe this is the abbreviated version of the 21 Tara praises, which comes from Atisha. Not sure if it actually has a specific name.
Re: Short Tara Praise Question
AFAIK Atisha received this condensed form of the 21 praises directly from Tara for swift accumulation of merit. I don't think it has any particular name.
H.E. Dagmo Kusho recites this prayer at about 21:14 in the video below.
"You have to make the good out of the bad because that is all you have got to make it out of."

Thank you. One of his disciples (I forget who) was sick. The disciple was told that if he recited the twenty one praises one hundred thousand times he would be cured. However, he was too weak to recite that many prayers so he asked the Atisha the Great for help.
Atisha prayed to Tara. Tara taught he this prayer saying that the blessing is equal to the twenty one praises. Atisha taught it to his disciple who recited it one hundred thousand times and was cured.

Re: Short Tara Praise Question
Is there a tradition to accumulate 100 thousands of this short praise to Tara? So far, i only accumulate Tara mantras but it seems with the story above, it is worthwhile to accumulate 100K of this short praise.
Re: Short Tara Praise Question
Does anyone have another audio recording of this? Trying to learn pronunciation but it's not so easy from the above video.

Re: Short Tara Praise Question
Couldn't one just recite it in English a hundred thousand times? It's more easier:
"Om. Homage to Tara the Noble and Sublime.
Homage to Tara the swift and courageous, you drive away all our fears with Tuttara!
Savioress fulfilling all aims with a Ture, with syllables Svaha we offer you homage!"

Yes, I've been taught that it's more important to know the meaning of what you chant.Tenma wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 4:51 am Couldn't one just recite it in English a hundred thousand times? It's more easier:

Re: Short Tara Praise Question
If one receives the transmission in Tibetan, can they recite it in English instead?

I was in a rush so I didn't have time to explain that the transmission is of the text not the language
