Introduction to White Tara Practice with Kate Thomas

This is an introduction to White Tara practice based on a sadhana that Khenpo Sherab Sangpo arranged for his meditation community, Bodhicitta Sangha | Heart of Enlightenment Institute in Minneapolis. Practice texts are available for download on bodhicittasangha.org. "Noble White Tara" is a spiritual practice dedicated to increasing one's own or another person's health, wisdom, and merit; practiced especially to benefit the long life of one's teacher and lineage masters. Lady Tara has made the aspiration to swiftly help anyone who requests her compassionate presence. Tibetans call on her aid for both spiritual and mundane matters and these teachings are meant to help you generate more compassion, loving kindness, and the essence of bodhicitta; and to support you and your community during joyful and difficult times.

I would like to let you know how White Tara started to work in my life. Yesterday evening I did this meditation with you for the first time. I felt that it was so helpful I wanted to repeat it today too. And interestingly since yesterday on, I red on internet about the effects and cause of anger. I understood what it is, and why we have to leave them behind. And today before repeating this meditation, I felt I have to sit down first for few minutes and forgive to all towards whom I felt anger, it's a shame but it was a long list, including my own Mother. So I started to realease them one by one, and it felt so good. I felt after few minutes my pure soul under all these negative emotions, I felt that the struggle I had with life, the things I always wanted to reach and could never reach, things that were taken and caused me pain, all the attachment, I felt suddenly that nothing and noone can take the happiness that is my right from God, and that I was my own obstacle with holding to these negative feelings, who created a barrier so that all the love and light and abundance could not enter my life till I didn't learn how to forgive and trust God who has all his abundance of joy, happiness, wellbeing, wealth, good health and all the good things, I just have to accept them, I just have to be able to accept them by putting down these negative feelings and attachments. God bless you thousand times for showing me the way with your beautiful teachings and for White Tara who immediately came to ease my pain and help me release my obstacles. Namasté!

How many times to chant the mantras? Thank you for sharing this practice 🙏🏻

[@KhenpoSherabSangpo]

You can chant 21 times or 108 times which is one round on a mala (Buddhist rosary or prayers beads). You can chant them as often or as much as you have time for in each meditation session. It is really up to you. Khenpo Sherab Sangpo advises to practice in short sessions, frequently. This helps us to keep our mind fresh and not lose our mindfulness when chanting mantra.
