SUMMARY:Cittamani Tara Puja
DESCRIPTION:(HYBRID) The buddha Tara embodies the enlightened activity o
 f compassion. This powerful ceremony is especially effective for clearin
 g obstacles\, receiving support in times of crisis\, resolving conflicts
 \, and revitalising spiritual practice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTara is known as
  “She Who Saves” — a liberator from all fears\, including anxiety\
 , stress\, and trauma. Her practice works deeply on the inner causes of 
 suffering\, helping to transform the emotional patterns that often disru
 pt our lives and spiritual progress.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the puja\, we
  chant the praises of the 21 Taras\, offer long mandalas\, scatter flowe
 rs\, and present symbolic offerings using traditional mudras (hand gestu
 res). The ceremony is chanted in both English and Tibetan\, rich with sa
 cred symbolism and meaning.\n\n\n\nTara’s name means “star” or “
 she who ferries across\,” and she appears in female form as a bodhisat
 tva of compassion. Green Tara\, in particular\, represents compassion in
  action — always ready to step down from her lotus throne to help sent
 ient beings.\n\n\n\nTara is swift to respond to prayers. Her practice br
 ings immense merit\, protects against suffering in future lives\, and su
 pports the path to enlightenment. Lama Zopa Rinpoche shares that many pe
 ople experience tangible benefits from Tara practice — from healing il
 lness and avoiding untimely death\, to finding jobs\, improving relation
 ships\, and even conceiving children.\n\n\n\n“All the actions of the b
 uddhas have manifested in this female aspect of buddha\, Tara the Libera
 tor\, in order to help living beings to accomplish successfully both tem
 poral and ultimate happiness.”Lama Zopa Rinpoche\n\n\n\nThere is a sec
 tion in the puja for personal dedications — for the sick and vulnerabl
 e\, for healing the planet\, for the end of the pandemic\, and for the l
 ong life of our precious teachers. We also dedicate for success in our s
 tudies and the fulfilment of all our Dharma aspirations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
