Bokar Rinpoche Tara the Feminine Devine (PDF Download)

Tara is one of most loved feminine deities in India and Tibet. Tara, like a good mother, has the main purpose of providing protection for those who need it. Tara came out of a tear of compassion of Chenrezig and provides protection from things such as poisonous snakes (a serious problem in India and other Buddhist countries), being falsely locked up or confined, drowning at sea thieves, and demons. 

There are two major Tara practices: White Tara and the 21 Green Taras. The Practice Materials section carries both these practices.

This particular book of 178 pages he gives an extensive explanation of Green Tara practice in amazing 65 pages explaining the meaning of Tara.

These practices include both the original Tibetan text and the English translation of that text and an explanation of the verse and the visualization.

Then Bokar Rinpoche has a whole chapter on Buddhism and women. And then presents line drawing of each of the 21 Taras with their the qualities mudras, and implements.

In short, this is an incredible book that gives the reader everything needed to understand and do the Green Tara practice. Of course, it is highly recommended that one learns the practice from a qualified teacher who has done the practice and to receive the empowerment.
