TARA The Bodhisattva Tara is a Meditational deity and is the most popular goddess in Buddhist pantheon. 'Tara' the Sanskrit name of the Bodhisattva (goddess) is derived from the root 'tar' (to cross). In other words, Tara helps to cross the Ocean of Existence. The Tibetan translation of 'Tara' is sgrol-ma, which means 'saviouress' or 'deliveress'. The worship of Tara is commonly found throughout Tibet and very much famous in Northern Buddhist countries. There are various legends in regard to the origin of Tara, one of them being that she was born from a ray that shone from the eyes of Amitabha Buddha. Buddhist generally invoke goddess Tara to cross him over, to liberate him or her and in that movement she emerges, the saviouress Tara by name, from the root 'tar' to save, to lead across'. Whoever chants her name, Tara takes across, leads over to the yonder shore, to rescue, to rescue the world of the living restless. Devout Buddhists believe that if human beings utter the name of Tara audibly or inaudibly with sincerity of purpose they may obtain mystical insight and spontaneously acquire the ability for visualizing all mundane problems in their right perspective. There are twenty-one forms of Tara ? the most popular are Green Tara and White Tara. The Japanese believe that Tara made two vows ? to conquer evil (as Green Tara) and to savehuman beings (as White Tara) |
