Green Tara is a feminine expression of the wisdom energy of all Buddhas and the embodiment of active, swift compassion. On a relative level, she protects us and others from fear, anxieties, and obstacles of all kinds, and ultimately leads us to enlightenment. Her meditation emphasizes the recitation of the 21 praises addressed to her. These are a means of contemplating the qualities of enlightenment and thus create a connection between us and the realization of these qualities, which we develop through practice.
In-depth teachings on the practice of Green Tara will be given.
Practice and teachings will alternate.
