Guest guest Posted September 26, 1999 Report Share Posted September 26, 1999 Homage Noble Lady Tara, Swift in action of compassion.. Under your protection, Myself and other beings are gathered. Appeased from fear may we find the strength to aspire to Bodhicitta and know kindness, compassion, wisdom, equanimity and joy. The blue Utpala flower at your left ear blooming full and radiant held in the gesture of the 3 jewel mudra... may the wheel of Dharma turn! To my sisters who live compassionatly and always work for others praises to you, true daughters of our Mother. For me, who has forgotten and misused her good karma, Now here i make confession... i request your forbearance. Please remain amoung us and until all are free, teach us the sublime way. In my heart there is a light.... that echos and is lit by you. To those who would understand May they know they are made of tears...born from tears... as you were born from the tears of Chenrezi. And may every being without exception know sublime awakening and freedom. --janpa, some years ago, actually first in response to something Harsha had written me, turned inside my little brain and sparked a moment of inspiration about Arya Tara.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 1999 Report Share Posted September 26, 1999 Thank you, janpa. So beautiful... to me it has the feel of other chants I'm familiar with.
