tāra-sādhana

The Practice of Tara

    I prostrate before Tara!
    As [explained] earlier, meditate perfectly on the ultimate [level] of emptiness. When you do so, [visualize] the seed syllable tāṁ on the lotus and the moon. When it becomes perfect, it [transforms into] the finest utpala, which possesses the heart of the seed syllable tāṁ. When it becomes perfect, it [transforms] into the blue [mother], who dwells with a crown adornment in the form of Amoghasiddhi. The right and left hands [form the mudra] of supreme bestowal and hold the utpala. On the ground in front, to the right, and to the left [are] Ashokarati, Marichi, and Ekajati. Meditate that the divine maidens are youthful and adorned with ornaments. Make yourself naturally one with the jñānasattva.
    oṁ tāre tuttāre ture svāhā
    Repeat this mantra. By realizing this in your mind, you will be guided toward your desired goal.
    Thus concludes the practice of the Noble Khadiravani Tara.
