SATURDAY & SUNDAY TEACHINGS: 21 TARAS

Date: 6-7 May 2023

Time: Saturday 9am to 6pm (AEST) + Sunday 9am to 530pm (AEST)

In a female form, Tara symbolizes the knowledge and compassion of all enlightened creatures. Finding and establishing a connection with our inner potential for wisdom and compassion can be done quite effectively by meditating on Tara. It also aids in removing barriers to following a spiritual path and working for others.

At the repeated request of students, Lama Choedak Rinpoche will offer empowerments of all the 21 Taras according to Suryagupta Tradition of Maha Annuatara Yoga Tantra.

Rinpoche will also impart the instructions on how to do the practices of each of the 21 forms of Taras and show the use of the individual mantras to allay various problems.

One will learn how to execute the Green Tara Puja in addition to giving thanks to the 21 Taras. One will learn how to carry out the entire ceremony. If you have a vajra and a bell, bring them. If not, you can buy them at the centre.

People who are interested shouldn’t pass up this opportunity because this is a rare occurrence.

All who attend this special are requested to actively participate in each session – not just the empowerments, as you will need to participate in all sessions to learn all 21 Tara practices, specific mantras, transmission and instruction on their use and application in one’s practices.

At special request, Lama Choedak Rinpoche is doing this 21 Tara empowerments according to Suryagupta Tradition of the Anuttaraya Yoga Tantra for the first time. He will go through each of the Taras thoroughly. In the Atisha tradition all the Taras are identical except in color. But, in this tradition, each of the Taras have very different iconographical details and symbolism. All are requested to book early.
