7th Tara of 21 Taras: Black Tara Who Destroys Enemies and Crushes Adversaries, sung by Yoko Dharma

The mantra chanting of the 7th Tara according to the Surya Gupta tradition:
Tara Who Crushes Adversaries
Black Tara Who Destroys Enemies
Chanted by Yoko Dharma
Art Niels Petersen
Directed by Venerable Zasep Rinpoche
Seventh Tara of the 21 Taras
According to Surya Gupta Lineage
Vadi Pramardani Tara
Golwa Jompi Drolma
PRAISE to Tara Who Crushes Adversaries
Homage to You who with the TRAY and PEY sounds,
Crush every magical wheel, evil forces,
Right leg extended and left bent, you trample,
You burn them completely in Your whirling fire.
NOTE: Crushing Enemies and Adversaries does not usually mean destroying sentient beings. Typically, the adversaries are your own negativities, obscurations and obstacles, your own internal demons. Tara will also help you with external adversaries, destroying the obstructing force, but as an Enlightened Buddha this does not include any violence to sentient beings -- the force is directed at neutralizing the causes.
PRACTICE NOTE: Venerable Zasep Rinpoche advises that you may chant the mantra of without empowerment - although it is always more effective if you do have "lung" transmission or empowerment. If you do not have empowerment, you visualize Tara in front of you (not yourself as Tara) and chant the mantra.
MANTRA:
OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SARVA BEYA AVA RA NAM YE SOHA

I've been trying to learn about the term "Tara" ever since I had a very lucid dream in early 2022. In the dream I suddenly found myself in front of a being that seemed to be sitting behind shifting layers of glass/distortion. And immediately after I noticed it it said to me very distinctly "Hello Tara". I knew that it was a dressing me but it didn't make any sense because I am a man and my name is not "Tara". So asked it "Who is Tara"? And it replied, "The witch upstairs". I then felt compelled to turn around and look above me where I saw bright beautiful light coming through a gateway of some kind. There was a power emanating from it that felt very heavy to me and I was slightly frightened of it so I turned around to look at the being again. It seemed to have been sitting down the entire time. Through the distortion I could only make out two features. It had long hair and it appeared to be black but was very bright at the same time. Then I felt a force pulling me to my left. I felt like I was being stretched and sucked into what I can only describe as a different dimension. The whole interaction seemed to be composed of three different dimensions. That of the being. That of what was above me. And that which pulled me to my left. I still don't really understand what was meant by the whole thing but it has been very important to me to find out. I am a western man. I didn't know anything about "Tara" until I had that very lucid dream. I am starting to think that what I saw and interacted with may have been "Black Tara". I have been witness to some evil forces in my life. I felt them oppressing me since I was very young. I wonder if she came to me to sever me from them and free my spirit, somehow? Life is a blessing.

[@BuddhaWeekly]

That's a wonderful, auspicious dream. Yes, Tara appears in countless forms to help sentient beings - as she represents the "activity of all the Buddhas", including peaceful and healing (white Taras), wrathful to handle the most ferocious of our obstacles (black Taras), magnetizing (red Tara), auspicious activities (yellow Taras) and GREEN, which combines all the colors (all activities.) (If you are interested have a video for each form and mantra on the channel). Thank you for watching! Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha

Is there any document online published about the Surya Gupta lineage ?

[@BuddhaWeekly]

Lots of material is available. For books. there is Tara in the Palm of Your Hand by Ven Zasep RInpoche -- it's an entire book on the lineage and how to practice, visualize and all the mantras, written by a Tulku Rinpoche of lineage. On Amazon: www.amazon.com/Tara-palm-your-hand-twenty-one/dp/0992055407/ref=sr_1_1?crid=17CRKTO3BKC0A&keywords=tara+in+the+palm+of+your+hand&qid=1670451917&sprefix=tara+in+the+pal%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-1 Online, there are several web pages with information, including Buddha Weekly and others. But, if you mean documents as in PDF documents, not sure, since there's not necessarily a reliable way to download safe pdfs (usually pdfs to be considered reliable should come from a teacher), although you could certainly try SCRIBD.

Can you please suggest me tara mantra to cure depression and mental health?? Among 21 taras which is best for depression and sadness suggest me plz

[@susmitamaji6918]

Green Tara ma is best 💚🙏

[@BuddhaWeekly]

Green Tara and White Tara are life-affirming, positive, wonderful practices that is always highly recommended. Mother Tara embodies the wisdom and compassion and activity of all the Buddhas. Her mantra is Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha. I always find "The Song of Longing for Tara" to be very profound, calming and wonderful. Here Jason Espada recites it, followed by the chanted praise to the 21 Taras: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3WUXnl4opJ7eZo Here's also a video with Tara's mantra chanted by Hrishi with beautiful meditative images: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqeYgGyPdsqBrZo

[@saravananrajendran6246]

Which is the best Tara to protect us from black magic and revert the black magic to the concern person please help me with us will Tara will protect us from black magic ???

[@BuddhaWeekly]

Dear Saravanan, if you have a teacher you should seek advice. (I can't give advice, but what I'm about to write is only from my own personal perspective). From my own personal perspective, there is no better protection than Green Tara (The main Tara you normally think of.) Tara protects from all harms, and is the "activity of the Buddhas" which certainly includes protection. (There are specialist Taras, like this one, but these are still emanations of Tara, and sometimes require training/ or transmission.) Here's a story on the many rescues teachers and others credit her with over the centuries: buddhaweekly.com/mama-buddha-tara-compassionate-action/ I know she has personally helped me (not from black magic, of course!). But, I always rely on Green Tara for all protections of any kind. Her mantra does not require empowerment (although obviously, it's best if you have it or can ask for it). Her mantra, by itself, is protective. OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SVAHA. I'll put a link to the video with Yoko Dharma singing this mantra. If you feel nervous -- at least if it were me -- I'd chant it myself, or play it as music in my environment. Yoko's singing of the mantra is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKDFgXido5mcaa8 Here's a link to a Tibetan Teacher guiding a protective meditation and the mantra (15 minutes) :kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2qpZmB9eNOhf7M It is also said that the 21 praises to Tara are also very effective. *I know I always feel safer, calmer after chanting it. Here's the praise in English (takes 5-7 minutes): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYu3i6N7jbB2oJY I hope this helps. Ultimately, the best protection is taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. I send wishes for you to remain safe and feel protected in Tara's loving arms. OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SVAHA

7 , 21, or 108 traditionally. Thanks for watching

[@RogerGarinMichaudBrisbane]

As much as you can until you reach full and complete Enlightenment LOL

[@priyankasharma-ei5sy]

Which Tara Mantra is very-very powerful?Please reply me🙏🙏.

[@BuddhaWeekly]

All aspects of Tara are the same. Tara is the ultimate protector. Green Tara (also called "Principle Tara") is the Tara most suited to Buddhists who do not have the guidance of a teacher. The other aspects, the 21 Tara visualized according to the Surya Gupta method (as in these videos) is a higher practice. It's not harmful to chant her mantra, but if you're looking to practice seriously, most teachers suggest starting with Green Tara and perfecting your meditation and mantra focus o the Glorious Mother Tara (Green Tara). Green Tara is the Mother of all Buddhas, the Mother of all Taras, therefore there is no Tara mantra or aspect more powerful than Green Tara, the Mother of all Buddhas. (All Taras and All Buddhas are in essence the same at the ultimate level -- but for now, for people like myself with limited understanding, we should probably focus on Green Tara.) Her mantra is Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha. The visualization of Tara as 21 individual Taras, Tara 1-21, or as black, white, red, etc are symbolic to allow our mind to focus on different aspects. I'd suggest not focusing on the individual aspects (unless you have lots of time to practice!) but to place your devotion and faith in Green Tara, the Mother, at least initially. He mantra again: Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha. Later, when you have a teacher who is from the Surya Gupta lineage (if it appeals to you), you can expand your practice to include the 21 individual aspects. There is also the 21 Taras according to Atisha. (This is just me suggesting... for me, always start (and end) with Green Tara.) Here's a 15 minute Green Tara practice suitable (and powerful) for all - very protective, very healing, guided by Venerable Zasep Rinpoche, including Tara's mantra: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2qpZmB9eNOhf7M

Go with your heart, that’s where Tara lives. I adore her fierce aspects. I could only wake her by worshiping her that way. That is my way my path, through the fierce deities. Listen to your heart.

[@priyankasharma-ei5sy]

I'm confused that which Tara Mantra should I recite and at what time.Is it good to recite all Tara mantras?

[@BuddhaWeekly]

Any time is a good time to practice Tara mantras. Most Tibetan Buddhists start and end their day with Tara. She is the "Activity" of all the Buddhas, so the one who appeals to those of us of a "practical" mindset:-) Green Tara, or Principle Mother Tara, is the most suitable to start and end your day - and he mantra is comforting any time you feel the need. She is protective and nurturing and powerful, a true Mother. She is called Mother of the Buddhas because she symbolizes the wisdom and activity of the Buddhas. Her mantra is OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SVAHA. Here is a video with just her mantra and visualization, And here is a 15 minute guided visualization and mantra: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKDFgXido5mcaa8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2qpZmB9eNOhf7M Hope that helps. May Tara bless you. Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha.

[@saddha1]

I’m confused, what’s the difference between Shyam Tara (dark Tara) (misnomered as Green Tara) and this black Tara? Are they the same or different?

[@BuddhaWeekly]

Thanks for your question. I don't know Shyam Tara, but dark Tara is the casual name of syamatara (Sanskrit name) so I'll guess that's the Tara. The green (or "blue-green", Skt. śyāmatārā) form of Tārā remains the most important form of the deity in the Tibetan tradition -- she's Green Tara. Sometimes she's called Syamatara and is usually thought of as blue-green or saphhire green (but some descriptions call her "dark Tara". She is central Mother Tara, the mother of all the Taras. When we say there are 21 Taras (five of which are black, several red, several white, several yellow), or 108 or 1008 (there are names and descriptions and mantras for all 1008!) this doesn't mean they're not all Tara. All Taras are still Tara. She is an Enlightened Buddha, who, like Avaolikiteshvara, can emanate in any form to help sentient beings. She emanates in Black forms to demonstrate her wrathful power to overcome serious obstacles, and Black Tara's mantra -- which starts with Green Tara's mantra Om Tare Tuttare Ture -- adds a supplication to overcome evil and obstacles (to cut them) Sarva Vidya Avaranye Bhye Phet Svaha. So Black Tara is the form of Green Tara who wrathfully removes our obstacles. Tara can also emanate in White form(s) to pacify (for example, pacifying illness). She emanates in Red Forms to magnetize or attract what we need most in our Dharma lives. And yellow forms to enrich. Green, as in SyamaTara is, in Dharmic thinking is the combination of all colors: Red, black, white, yellow. Within SyamaTara or Green Tara, we have complete all the activities. But, just as, we might take a specific medicine for a cold, we visualize Tara in a more ferocious, wrathful, energetic form -- here as Black Tara -- to help us focus on wrathful energy. My long way of saying, SyamaTara is Green Tara, who is no different, in essence from any other Tara. She combines them all in one Mother.
