vaśya-tārā-sādhana

The practice of Vashya Tara, which is practicing submission

    I prostrate before the noble Tara!
    Imagine that from the syllable tāṁ arises utpala, pressed in the middle by the syllable tāṁ. When it becomes perfect, the noble Tara with a green-colored body appears from it. The left hand holds the utpala. The right makes up the [mudra] of bestowing the supreme. Sitting on a good seat. The head is adorned with Amoghasiddhi.
    Having visualized thus, make one of the same flavor with the jnanasattva.
    oṁ tāre tuttāre ture — Let <name> be submission to <name>! - svāhā
    When you say this, perform the numbered recitation shown above together with the name of the one for whom the practice is being practiced. And even if there are no signs, such as an arrow, etc., tie the utpala girdle of the one for whom the practice is being practiced. With the accumulation of light from your own body, fill his body. In this way you will be in the state of realization of your own submission.
    This is how the practice of Vashya-Tara, realizing submission, which was composed by Acharya Vajra-angkura, is completed.
    Translated by Lama Dhondup Dorje Tulku.
