OM DROOM SOHA OM AMRITA AYUR DADEY SOHA

Short Mantra

Recite this mantra 21 times or more

OM DROOM SOHA

Whatever method of dedication
that the Buddhas of the three times have taught
I dedicate likewise all the roots of the wholesome merit
I have accumulated for obtaining a proper conduct.

Thus, by the power of the creation of this multitude of merits and virtues,
collected by myself and others,
May we take rebirth in the blissful lotus and
May we see the beautiful faces of the Lord and His entourage.

May we be fortunate to enjoy the Dharma of the Supreme Vehicle.
At the time of receiving the signs for an untimely death,
By seeing clearly the body of Lord Amitayus.

And by destroying the strength of the god of death,
May I attain the state of the deathless Knowledge Holder.
May I and others be transformed into the state of Lord Amitayus.

Whatever is Your body, may my body be like Yours.
Your entourage, your lifespan, your Buddha field, and your supreme signs and
characteristics, whatever there are,
May I be transformed into the same.

Mantra: OM AMI DEWA HRI

Homage to the Youthful One with budding breasts,
Who has one face and two arms, sits in the vajra posture,
Is bold with grace and calm, has a full moon as backrest
And is filled with great bliss.

Homage to the Ultimately Generous One whose right hand,
Showing the mudra Supreme Giving
Easily releases boundless karmas of peace, increase, power and wrath
As well as the eight siddhis and even supreme Buddhahood.

Homage to the Spiritual Mother who gives birth to Buddhas
Past, present and future; whose left hand
Supporting a blue lotus, grants protection
From lions, elephants, fires and all eight terrors.

Homage to the Refuge of the World, who has eyes
In hands and feet gazing at the four doors of freedom
And who leads all living creatures
Toward the isle of blissful liberation.

Homage to she whose face unites
The beauty of a million autumn moons,
Whose wide eyes gaze with compassion
Whose Joyous mouth smiles equally on all.

Homage to she with head adorned by Amitayus, boundless Life,
The mere thought of whom grants life and wisdom,
Whose hand, in the contemplative mudra,
Hold a vase filled with ambrosia of immortality.

Homage to the All-Beautified One whose crown
Steals the light of sun and moon,
Whose sapphire hair is half knotted on top
And half falling freely over her shoulders.

Homage to the Majestic One of precious ornament blazing,
Whose crown, earrings, necklaces, arm-bands,
Bracelets, anklets and belt so elegantly arranged
Surpass the ornaments of men and gods.

Homage to she of celestial raiment,
Whose shoulder-sash and skirt
Hug her body like rainbows
Hug the crystal mountains.

Homage to the goddess before whose lotus feet
Vishnu, Indra, Shiva, Brahma, the antigods, spirits,
Men, semi-humans and all the world
Submit themselves in devotion.

Merely by reciting your mantra,
Those who make offerings at your lotus feet
Gain immortality, wisdom and merit
And attain all desired siddhis; to you I bow down.

The knowledge, compassion and perfect actions of all Buddhas
Appear in the form of the beautiful goddess
I take refuge in you and offer you my prayers;
Pray eliminate all my obstacles and fulfill all my aims.

Quickly release your perfect action of peace,
Calming all interferences to my practices for enlightenment;
Interferences such as the eight terrors,
Sickness, demons and other harmful agents, inner and outer.

Quickly release your perfect action of increase which multiplies
All good qualities, such as life, merit, unapprehending compassion,
The stainless wisdoms of learning, contemplation and meditation,
And the three higher trainings.

Quickly release your perfect action of power,
Which causes gods, men and spirits
To humbly bow before you
And which fulfils all wishes of the mind.

Quickly release your perfect action of wrath,
Which with punishments befitting the evils done
Destroys demons, interferences and hindrances
Hateful opposing Buddhadharma and its holders.

Pray, bestow quick and easy attainment of siddhis
Such as the magic sword, mystic eye-medicine, fast-walking,
The food pill and the precious vase,
And even mahamudra, the highest siddhi.

In brief, from now until enlightenment
I respectfully make offerings at your lotus feet
I need seek no other refuge
Out of compassion gaze upon me and quickly grant protection.

By the meritorious energy of this practice
May the transcended, perfect Tara
Look upon me forever with pleasure
And never leave me, even for a moment.

May all sentient beings after death take rebirth
Before Amitayus in Sukavati, Land of Pure Joy,
May they live in the ways of the great Bodhisattvas
And come to equal Avalokiteshvara, Lord of Compassion.

May I realise the oceans of Sutras and Tantras
To be able to pass them on to others;
And until samsara be emptied may I strive
To uphold the victory banner of practicing exactly as taught.

Mantra: OM TAREE TU-TAREE TUREE MAMA AYU-PUNYE-JANA PUTIM KURU SOHA

The Colophon: This praise of exalted White Tara, supreme mother of all Buddhas, was written by the monk Gyalwa Gendun Drub while he was residing in the Hermitage of Great Awakening at the Tegchen Potreng.

“May I relieve them of their disease and suffering, relieve their inner, outer and secret diseases. “

“May I stop natural calamities and the diseases or unhappiness arising from that. May I be the cause of people being freed from suffering.”

The Medicine Buddha made this special wish prior to gaining enlightenment and he now helps us in the great capacity of a healer. Endowed with healing energy, the Medicine Buddha puja encourages healing of all levels – physical, mental and emotional healing for those in need.

It is a very powerful way to help people who suffer especially from sicknesses and for families or friends of people who are sick. For those whose profession is to heal others (e.g. doctors, nurses, therapists, counselors, masseurs, energy healers etc), Medicine Buddha’s practice is supreme to make their healing work more efficacious and effective.

Benefits:

• Physical healing
• Mental healing
• Emotional healing
• Enhancing the work of those in the healing profession

This puja is available in the Kechara Puja House in both Small and Medium puja sizes, depending on the scale of the problem. Click here for more information.

Likewise, her puja brings us the same benefits. Invoking her healing energy, it is very powerful for bestowing long life, healing illnesses and avoiding premature death through accidents or disasters.

It also creates conducive conditions when circumstances arise that interrupt our spiritual practice, and helps us to avoid a rebirth in the three lower realms.

Benefits:

• Extending one’s life
• Healing critical illnesses
• Avoiding premature death through accidents or disasters
• Creates conducive conditions for spiritual practice
• Avoids a negative rebirth

This puja is available in the Kechara Puja House in both Small and Medium puja sizes, depending on the scale of the problem. Click here for more information.

She is white in colour and has 3 faces, white, yellow and blue. Her faces have peaceful, semi-wrathful and wrathful demeanours.

She has eight arms, each holding different implements and sits in the meditative position on a lotus.

Her practice is extremely efficacious to remove obstacles for one’s long life. She bestows longevity on beings for the purposes of attaining Enlightenment and benefiting others.

Her spiritual energy in the form of sound that helps to transform the mind (Mantra):

OM DROOM SOHA

She heals and blesses and averts grave dangers by the power of pacification.

Her legs are crossed in meditation posture and she has eyes of watchful compassion on her forehead, the palms of her hands and the soles of her feet, watching over us like a mother over her child. There is nothing that she doesn’t see. Her right hand shows unconditional giving; while her left, holding a blue utpala flower, blesses her children of faith with fearlessness.

Her divine body’s radiance is like that of a full moon on an autumn night, cooling, calming, soothing, and the moonbeams of her love and consolation shine through every window into every lonely room. Her all-forgiving softly smiling eyes invoke instant faith and deepest trust.

Throughout India, Tibet, China and Japan, Lady White Tara is famous for granting long life and averting life-threatening situations. The explanation of how she can do so can be found in her Mantra – her spiritual energy in the form of sound that helps to transform our mind.

OM TARE TUTTARE TURE MAMA AYUH PUNYA JANA PUTRIM KURUYE SOHA.

Ayuh means long life, putrim abundance, punya ethical purity, jana wisdom, so we’ll gain an abundance of good life by acting wisely and pure,ly and if we do so she will help us in mysterious ways.

Someone once asked H.H. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche to bless a Tara statue, but he replied it wasn’t necessary because “if it’s Tara it is already blessed”.

No words can describe her; she is just too wonderful and holy.
