Several people have asked about the "21 Praises to Tara", which many of us have been practicing for Rinpoche's long life (and which we will also be practicing during a 10-day Tara retreat at SSRC in December). Here are some resources available online that you might find interesting and helpful if you are doing this practice:
- Chants for the 21 Praises to Tara, including both slow/fast versions (by Erik Pema Kunsang, here)
- Pictures and descriptions of each of the 21 Taras (available here). As the site notes, " Basically the colors are a code for the 4 activities: pacifying (white), enriching (yellow), subjugating (red) and eliminating (black.) Mixed colors such as orange indicate a combination of qualities"

Thank you so much for this Blog on Tara Practice. May I translate it into portuguese? I was looking for info on the practice since DKR told me to do it
ReplyDeleteI'm Ruth Saldanha, student of DKR. I'm in Brazil and I can ask Sheyla Costa to double check the translation.
