A Tara Sadhana For Easy Recitation and Meditation 2.0
A Tara Sadhana For Easy Recitation and Meditation 2.0
All dharmas are empty of self-nature, free from duality nature from the very
beginning.
2 Generation of oneself as Arya Tara
From within the sphere of emptiness there appears the syllable PAM. This
transforms into a lotus bearing the syllable AH.
AH transforms into a moon disk that covers the center of the lotus, the
syllable TAM standing upon it.
TAM becomes an utpala marked by TAM.
Lights shine forth from the TAM, delighting all buddhas of the three times
and ten directions. The lights then draw back, bringing the blessings of all
buddhas.
Again lights radiate forth. They perform the two purposes.
The utpala and TAM transform into light, and remerge as myself in the form
of Arya Tara.
White OM marks my forehead, red AH my throat, and blue HUM my heart.
Lights shine forth from the HUM at my heart, inviting Arya Tara, who,
surrounded by a host of buddhas and bodhisattvas, comes into the space
before me.
JAH HUM BAM HOH.
The earth, purified with scented water and strewn with flowers,
And adorned with Sumeru, the king of mountains,
The four quarters of the universe, and the sun and the moon I hold up,
envision as a Pure Land Paradise,
And offer, so that all beings might experience their world as a Paradise.
By virtue of this offering, may all beings here and now attain the happiness
of that pure land!
