Tibetans pray to white Tara especially for health, healing and longevity. She offers healing to our wounds, whether it is our bodies or minds that have been hurt. White Tara is extremely powerful. Tara is very close to sentient beings, like a mother to her children. She is very quick to fulfill our wishes and grant us happiness and a long life, as well as to help us develop wisdom. By taking refuge in Tara and practicing meditation, visualizations, and having faith, you have the power to remove obstacles from your life and extend it. ~http://www.yowangdu.com (tibetan-buddhism/white-tara.html) |
