Part 2 of 2 · Teachings on Tara, Sao Paulo
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche goes through the twenty-one Taras with their mantras, gives practice advice and answers questions, in English, in Sao Paulo on 12 June 2014.
The second session opens with ways of approaching Tara: as a mother and protector, or as the nature of one’s own mind. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche then goes through the twenty-one Taras in turn, with their functions and colours, and asks the audience to repeat several mantras after him.
He gives simple practice advice: begin with refuge and bodhichitta, imagine Tara’s right hand over you in a gesture of protection or receive her blessing as light, and remember her in short, frequent moments. Questions follow on the five Jina Buddhas, holding confidence and humility together, the two kinds of deity in visualisation, shamatha, and what a beginner should study first.
