Tara Puja for removal of all obstacles
Tara (the Liberator) is a Buddha in female form who represents in particular all enlightened beings’ skilful activities.
Contemplating Tara brings quick results in whatever we want and need – the ultimate happiness of enlightenment, (known as the Mother of all Buddhas, she awakens and helps fulfill our potential to attain enlightenment); and also helps bring temporal benefits of this life relating to work, business, family, relationships etc.
Taking part in this practice enables us to develop Tara’s energy within us, which is the energy of our own active compassion and wisdom.
The puja runs for approximately one hour and everyone is most welcome to attend. The puja is recited in both English and Tibetan.
One could also sponsor a Tara Puja to assist with the removal of obstacles or create merit for oneself or someone else. Please contact us at dharmanewzealand(@)gmail.com if you are interested in sponsoring a Puja.
