 "Tara is our common mother, our Holy Mother. When we
are young we turn to our worldly mother for help. She protects us from immediate dangers,
provides us with all our temporal needs, and guides and encourages us in our learning and
personal development. In the same way, during our spiritual growth, we need to turn to our
Holy Mother, Tara, for refuge. She protects us from all internal and external dangers, she
provides us with all the necessary conditions for our spiritual training, and she guides
us and inspires us with her blessings as we progress along the spiritual path." --From
the Introduction to Liberation from Sorrow, the sadhana of Arya Tara Homage to Tara, the Swift One, the
Heroine,
Whose eyes are like a flash of lightning,
Who arose from the opening of a lotus,
Born from the tears of the Protector of the Three Worlds.
OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA
