ārya-tārā-sādhana

Noble Tara's practice

    I prostrate before the goddess Tara!
    On the disk of nectar from the gathering, which is explained earlier, [appears] the syllable-seed as the first of the section of five syllables, which is suppressed by the second of the first. They are adorned with a bindu with half of the moon. Meditate on the Tara that is formed from this. She is green, with two arms. The right one [is in the mudra] of bestowing the supreme. The left one holds the utpala. Located on the lotus and the moon. Imagine that she is adorned with all ornaments.
    When you join the palms of both hands, with the two index fingers, curl the nails of the middle fingers. When you bring the ring fingers inside, press with the thumbs. This is the mudra of the opened utpal.
    oṁ tāre tuttāre ture svāhā
    This is how the practice of the noble Tara is completed.
    Translated into Russian by Lama Karma Paljor (O.E. Filippov).
