Green Tara Mantra
OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA
In Tibetan Buddhism, Tara is the "Mother of
all Buddhas". Also referred to as Dolma, she has 21 forms, each represented by a different color
and spiritual qualities. Among these, the Green Tara and White Tara are the most
popular.
Usually this mantra is attributed to Green Tara, the Goddess of enlightenment and
prosperity. She is considered to be the female counterpart of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of
Compassion.
The literal meaning of the mantra is:
I prostrate to the Liberator,
Mother of all the victorious ones.
TARE stands for liberation from all worldly sufferings.
TUTTARE represents liberation from our material and spiritual fears.
TURE is for attaining liberation from diseases.
SOHA is derived from the Sanskrit word Svaha, meaning homage or offering to
God to seek blessings.
Green Tara protects beings and help them to eliminate dangers and
obstacles in mundane and spiritual life. By reciting the Green Tara Mantra, one will be able to
invoke the blessings of Tara and request for her protection.
Green Tara is pictured
many-armed, symbolizing the powers and attributes she has cultivated to save everyone. She is
often depicted with one leg out of the lotus position, extended down for a quick and decisive
response when needed.
Tara mantra is often used to overcome physical, mental or emotional
blockages and also blockages in relationships. Green Tara is very active and steps down to help
all the beings. When chanting the Tara mantra, one needs to let go and bring the energy back into
ourselves. This will result in inner peace and clarity.
