Green Tara represents the activity of all the Buddhas, sometimes referred to as mother of the Buddhas. Tara is a sanskrit word meaning liberator. The Tibetan word is 'dolma', dol meaning liberator, ma meaning mother. There are 21 aspects of Tara, each Tara having a special antidote for particular negative forces, which are caused by an imbalance of the different elements of the outer, inner and secret levels. Most of the problems that we experience in our lives, are a result of the imbalance of the world around us.
Inner imbalance refers to war, famine, poverty etc.
Therefore, Green Tara practice is often done for removing obstacles on the path, for success in life and business. It is done regularly at the monastery for the success of its activities. Individuals are welcome to sponsor a puja for any difficulties they may be facing in their lives. If you would like to do this, please arrange this through the office. This is equally divided between an offering to each Lama, purchasing offerings for the shrine and a donation to the monastery.
